Hi all.

I've just re-read "Something Rotten" and I discovered the "books for non-brit" section on jasperfforde.com, with the entire joke Bismarck tells Thursday's mum.
Here it is :

"A white horse walks into a pub. Before he can order a pint, the landlord says 'We named our pub after you!". "What?" says the horse. "Erich?"



... SO, maybe it's because I'm dim-witted, or French, or both (pleonasm), but I simply didn't get it. Could someone please lighten-up my Swedish-cheese-shaped-mind ? In exchange, I can give you another pretty lame joke.

Hi Mateo. "The White Horse" is a common pub name in the U.K. Does this help?

OK, that helps a lot, yes. I thought it had something with Tolkien's "Prancing Poney" but this answer is far better.

Thanks a lot !
