A Wild Horse Ride

时间：2007-10-31 01:15:00

（单词翻译:单击）

A blonde decides to try horseback riding, even though she has had no lessons or prior experience. She mounts the horse, unassisted, and the horse immediately springs into motion. It gallops1 along at a steady and rhythmic2 pace, but the blonde begins to slip from the saddle.

In terror, she grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway.

The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious3 to its slipping rider.Finally, giving up her frail4 grip, the blonde attempts to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety.

Unfortunately, her foot has become entangled5 in the stirrup, she is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves. As her head is struck against the ground over and over. As her head is battered6 against the ground, she is mere7 moments away from unconsciousness when to her great fortune... Frank, the Walmart greeter, sees her dilemma8 and unplugs the horse.
