Here’s a funny joke for you:

A Shetland Pony walked into a McDonalds and waited in line to place his order. When his turn finally came, he said (in a soft, raspy voice), “I’ll have a Hamburger Happy Meal with a Coke, please.” The woman behind the counter frowned and replied, “Sir, you’ll have to speak up. I can’t hear you.” The pony looked at her and repeated (in the same soft, raspy voice), “I’ll have a Hamburger Happy Meal with a Coke, please.” The woman frowned again and looked rather aggravated. She said sharply, “Sir, I still can’t hear you. There are lots of people waiting in line. You’ll have to speak up or leave the restaurant.” The pony smiled understandingly and replied (in the same soft, raspy voice), “I’m sorry. You’ve got to excuse me. I’m just a little hoarse.”
