There are several jokes around about those - ah - circumstances. One I vaguely recall only part of it, something to do about "running in the raw."
Undoubtedly, it had to do with some type of marathon. :roll: :roll:

Ranger7374 Loc: Arizona, 40 miles from the border in the DMZ

A man wanted to buy a horse. So he mosied over to the horse ranch in Utah.

The rancher had many fine horses, and the man picked out a good one. the rancher told the man, "That is a special horse, it takes certain commands to make it move."

"You see, sonny," the rancher said, "You have to say 'Thank God' to make the horse move. You have to say, 'Thank God, Thank God' to make him move faster and 'Thank God, Thank God, Thank God' to get the horse to run in a full gallop, now be careful, when the horse is in a full gallop, he will keep running until you say, 'Amen' then the horse will stop. Want to try him out?"

The man thought for a moment considering he was in monument valley, and decided to take the horse for a spin, so to speak. So the rancher saddled the horse, and the man, excited jumped on the horse.

The man then said, "Thank God!" and the horse started walking down the trail.

Then the man said, "Thank God! Thank God!" and the horse started trotting down the trail out into the open desert. The man thought, "wow this is a great animal, let's run him some more."

Then the man said, "Thank God, Thank God, Thank God!" and the horse took off like a bullet, galloping faster than the man has ever experienced. Just then the man looked up ahead and saw a cliff.

Then the man said, "Whoa!" but the horse would not stop. Being part Indian and part Mexican, the man said, "Alta! Alto!" but the horse would not stop. And the cliff kept coming closer and closer. Then the man remembered the word to stop the horse.

Fearing to run the horse off the cliff, the man yelled, "AMEN!" and right at the edge of the cliff, the horse stopped.

Then the man took his hat off, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Thank God!"

Then the rancher turned to his friend, "I've sold that horse twenty times, you would think the liberals would learn some time." His friend smiled and laughed.
