You Can Now Smell Like a Horse

On Tuesday of this week I went to the doctor for a cough and shortness of breath.  I realize I don't really like going to the doctor.  Normally they figure out what's wrong with me, give me some drugs and I'm on my way.  However, this visit they threw out words like "heart disease" or "pulmonary embolism" and I started to see spots, got a little light headed and started planning my funeral.

Fortunately they ruled all those things out and concluded that I have bronchitis.  Which seems like I'm a total sissy for thinking I was sick. 

I had to go to the pharmacy for some cough syrup and antibiotics.  The pharmacist told me it would be about 15 minutes and they would call my name when it was ready.

I went looking through the store and realized we needed shampoo.  As I was looking for something fruity-smelling that would provide me with that "just stepped out of the salon" look, this caught my attention. 



I wasn't sure if the horse and reference to a "mane" was because this was for your livestock or for you and they had a clever play-on-words-and-picture thing going on.

The have two directions on the back:  For Human Use and For Animal Use.

That's right you can use this product on you and your favorite steed.  Plus it not only acts as shampoo and conditioner, but body wash.

I'm not sure who takes showers with their horses, but apparently there is a large enough demographic that a company exists to make such a product.  What's even better is that two bottle of the shampoo/body wash are missing. 

If you're looking for a clever Christmas idea, might I suggest a bottle of the Mane and Tail shampoo with a copy of Horse and Hound.  It's sure to make someone's Christmas a little more special.
