1. Did he put you through college? I once knew a cowboy who...
credited his roping horse with buying him a ranch.

12. Here's some context on the quote:

Behind me, I heard a young woman of 25 say, "If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college." Now, I.m gonna repeat that, because it bears repeating. "If it weren't for my horse..." as in, giddyup, giddyup, let's go — "I wouldn't have spent that year in college," which is a degree-granting institution. Don't think about that too long, or BLOOD will shoot out your NOSE!

6. It's on right now, I love Black's stand up
I watched his HBO special a couple of weeks ago and was in pain from laughing so hard.

9. All right, I'm tired and sleep deprived. I've been staring at this post
trying to wrap my brain around it and make some sense of it.

Is it a futile effort? :shrug:

13. thats the point
you weren't supposed to understand it. It came from a bit where he heard the stupidest comment ever then it gave him an aneurysm. Much more funny when Lewis Black tells it
