Heard on an old blooper reel. True story

When I was a kid I heard that on a bloopers album and it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard. Ah, youth.

"Military Hawk" was a good one and I also liked "airbag".

What a great name for a female horse! And it proved to be perfectly appropriate as she excelled in a sport dominated by the males.

btw - If you haven't seen the movie Ruffian you have missed the best racehorse film ever. The race scenes are shot using angles and camera work that I've never seen before. Wonderful story about a great athlete...Ruffian.

It's jockey Strap up on My Dick with Girdle in the stretch and Bubble Gum sticking to the rail.

That's all I remember. Couldn't find it on Youtube.
