No, Bert didn't support it Jim. You missed my point. Where I agreed with him was that the 'horse' statement was 'a dreary axiom' [Bert's formulation]. My 'I don't' was an ironic response to Les's "Go on Al - tell us about horses not singing - we like that one".

Of course the original 'horse' thing was a silly off-cuff joke [by Satch or Broonzy or whoever is this week's candidate for having first said it] which got taken over-seriously & so got out of hand.
