Why is it that Merry-Go-Round horses look so angry? has anyone ever wondered that? Their job is seemingly easy, they get to go around in circles while happy beautiful children ride on them....I mean, its not like they are a scary ride with the intent to scare the shit out of little kids, they are not the fast ride that causes all to up-chuck their cotton candy and ice-cream...They certainly are not the ride that turns you upside down and threatens your life, so then why the hostile faces? Surely it must get a little boring going round and round and round, but much of the time they are just sitting there. It seems as if they were frozen in a moment where there was much angst in their lives, but what? I don't mean to propose that I know the lives of Carousal horses, I do not know where they hang out on their off season but I can't imagine it to be any worse than hanging out in the ER, and you don't see us ER staff walking around with this face....no you don't so shut up.....we might look frustrated, because we are...we deal with lots of idiots. We might look tense, after all we are responsible for saving bodies, but you don't see anyone looking this intense while at work...what up horsies? talk to me....
