To set up this story, B (my other half) and I decided to hang out with some of his coworkers on Saturday night. This included a BBQ and then hitting the bars afterward. Among the people at the BBQ were 2 other ladies and 4 guys...this is relevant. So, one of the girls in the group, I came to discover, is just about to graduate from Veterinary School (go MSU) as an Equine Vet. Imagine the joy I felt upon realizing I had another live person to discuss horses with! I was also somewhat tipsy - Whooo boy! I was definitely giddy for the opportunity to talk "shop" and so as the whole group of us gathered around to eat, I began to discuss the proper attire for the Country Style bar we were planning on going to (I've never been to a Western style bar before).
Me: "Ha haaaaa haa haaa (excessive hand gestures) - bla bla blaaaaa - bla bla horse bla bla bla, ramble ramble ramble - I could wear my western pleasure outfit to the bar." (record scratching sound as the room becomes silent).
EVERY GUY IN THE ROOM(except B who knows what I'm talking about): "WHA? Whoaaaaaaaa HA HA HA HA - what does your western pleasure outfit look like? (high fiving B).
CLUELESS ME: "Ohhh, gosh, I have the whole gamut. I've got the big silver belt buckle, black ultra suede chaps, a rhinestone shirt and a cowboy hat..."
EVERY GUY IN THE ROOM: "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA CHAPS, Like Assless Chaps? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, that's too much information; TMI, TMI..."
STILL CLUELESS ME: "Well, I guess they're assless. Yep, ha ha, I guess it's a pretty ridiculous outfit to wear to the bar. Ha ha, I just thought it would be hilarious. But yep, it's my show outfit. Although I really should get a new one. They're kind of expensive though....yammer yammer yammer, bla bla bla, ramble ramble ramble "- - -crickets chirping.
THE SOON TO BE VET: "Here, this is western pleasure, you idiots!" She holds a picture pulled up on her computer of a nice Saddlebred and his rider in a western pleasure class at a HORSE SHOW up for all to see.
THE NOW AWARE ME: "OHHHHHHHHH, OH NO! You thought I was talking about something else...." DOT DOT DOT.
The rest of the evening I found myself laughing and cringing about that incident. It never occurred to me that Western Pleasure or any other kind of pleasure class at a horse show would sound different to someone who didn't know horses, those PERVERTS!!!
DURRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
