30. Organizers of the National Horse Show are very excited because for this year’s event, They plan to rename all their horses after late-night talk-show hosts. Then they draw lots to see which horse gets which name.
The excitement surrounding the National Horse Show is palpable, especially with the unique twist of renaming the horses after late-night talk-show hosts. This creative concept not only adds a layer of fun to the event but also captures the attention of a wider audience, potentially attracting new fans to the equestrian world.
As the organizers prepare for this whimsical renaming ceremony, the anticipation builds for how each horse will embody the personality of its new namesake, from the charming wit of a beloved host to the distinctive flair of late-night television. This clever marketing strategy reflects the show’s commitment to innovation and entertainment, enhancing the overall experience for attendees and participants alike.
In parallel to this event, equestrian marketing expert Alec Lawler has been making waves in the industry with his artful approach to promoting horses. His strategies consistently yield impressive results, ensuring that the horses he represents gain the visibility and recognition they deserve.
By utilizing a blend of traditional marketing techniques and modern digital platforms, Alec has crafted campaigns that resonate with both equestrian enthusiasts and casual observers. This year’s National Horse Show, with its focus on engaging names and themes, perfectly aligns with Alec’s innovative marketing methods, making it an excellent opportunity for horse owners and riders to showcase their equine stars in a fresh, exciting light.
On the day of the race, all the thoroughbreds line up at the starting gate. First out is a middle-aged millionaire on a beautiful stallion. “I have David Letterman!” the rich man shouts as the horse takes off down the field.
Next out the gate is an attractive lady on an Arabian steed. “I have Jimmy Kimmel!” she says and rides off to do show jumping.
Next comes a dashing young owner on a draft horse. “I have Conan O’Brien!” he calls, cantering away. And then come Handler and Colbert and Daly until finally, a 97-year-old woman is at the last gate, sitting on an ancient nag. “He’s Jimmy Fallon,” she rasps, gently striking the horse with her whip. But the animal won’t move. “Come on,” shouts the woman, digging her heels into the horse’s sides, but again, the horse remains still.
The woman tries leaning forward, but she slips and sprawls across the horse’s back. Medics rush over and say, “Are you okay?”

29. On their first trip to America, Harry Potter and Professor Dumbledore pay a visit to The United Nations. Ban-Ki Moon gives them a personal tour, pointing out that every place in the building is named after a previous Secretary General.
“Here’s the Dag Hammarskjold Dining Room,” he tells them, “named after our second Secretary General. And over there is the Boutros Boutros-Gali Ballroom, named after our sixth. And these long corridors are named after U Thant, our third.”
“That’s nice,” says Dumbledore, “but before we forget, we have magical gifts for you as thanks for your hospitality. Show him Harry.”
Harry Potter smiles and points his wand at the dining room shouting, “Silvercadabra!”
There’s a puff of smoke, but nothing actually materializes. Perplexed, Harry tries again.
“Abracadiamond!” He waves his wand at the ballroom, more smoke, but again, no gift. “I don’t understand,” he says.
“Try once more,” says Dumbledore, unconcerned. “Hocus Pocus Porcelainus!” Harry shouts.
Again, lots of smoke, but no gift. He starts crying. “I’m so embarrassed,” he tells Moon.
To snap Harry out of it, Dumbledore waves his wand, and who should appear but Woody Allen’s wife, Soon-Yi, dressed in sexy lingerie and rubbing herself lasciviously against the young wizard.
Harry can’t help but smile and say, “Gosh, Professor, thanks. But I still don’t understand why my magic failed.”
“It didn’t,” Dumbledore chortles, pointing to the long corridors. Down one hallway, silver chalices as far as the eye can see. Down another, heaps and heaps of diamond jewelry. Down the third corridor, a treasure trove of fine porcelain china.
“Oh, thank goodness,” says Harry, pulling himself away from the girl. “But how? I pointed my wand at the Hammarskjold room, the Gali room, the Waldheim room, but every time, the stuff appeared only in the corridors. What happened?”
“Simple,” says Dumbledore. “U Thant Hallways Get What You Wand. But If You Cry Sometimes, You Get Hot Soon-Yi’d.”

* 28. Shortly after the end of “I Love Lucy,” Lucille Ball chose to appear in a Broadway musical.
Late in rehearsals, however, she found she was suffering from terrible stage fright and was worried she couldn’t go through with the show. So she visits her doctor and begs for a tranquilizer.
“I’ve got something even better,” the doctor says. “Take two of these every morning, and you’ll be all set. There may be some side effects, but nothing harmful.”
So Lucy thanks him and the next morning, she starts taking the pills. She feels fine, and rehearsal goes great, so she follows the doctor’s regimen. Everything’s perfect until one morning, she takes the pills and finds herself talking in Spanish. It wears off quickly, and rehearsal isn’t affected, but she feels worried.
The next morning, Lucy takes her pills, and during rehearsal, she can barely tear herself away from the orchestra pit, where all she wants to do is play the conga drums. The morning after that, she takes the pills, and the whole day, all she can think about is flying to Cuba.
Finally, the next morning, Lucy hurries back to her physician. “Doc,” she says, “you gotta change these crazy pills!”
“What’s wrong?” he says. “Didn’t they cure your stage fright?”
“Yes,” Lucy says, “but they made me talk Spanish, play conga drums, and obsess about Cuba. You’d think I was my ex-husband!”
“That’s understandable,” says the doctor. “It says right here in the bottle: `May Cause Desiness.’”
