Nothing like a good demonstration.
A rancher out west had finally gotten himself established and decided he needed to take a wife. Not knowing where to begin, he had heard of mail order brides and opted to take that direction. After several weeks his bride was to arrive on the afternoon stage so he loaded up the buggy and went into town. He greeted the stage and assisted his new bride into the buggy. He snaps the reigns and the horse just turns and looks at him. He calmly walks to the front of the horse and says out loud "that's one". He then snaps the reigns and the horse proceeds to move. Upon reaching the edge of town, the horse just stops in it's tracks. The man again calmly walks to the front of the horse and says "that's two". He snaps the reigns and the horse moves on it's way. About half way to the man's property the horse again just stops in it's tracks. The man calmly gets out of the buggy, walks to the front of the horse and says "that's three". He then takes out his revolver and shoots the horse dead where it stands. The man's new bride exclaims "what have you done, you've just shot our horse and we will have to walk the rest of the way". The man calmly walks over to her and says "that's one"......
