Utah pol gets off lightly by kissing horse
A Utah county official says he got off lightly after smooching a stoic horse to pay off a weight-loss bet his staff made with the staff at a local hospital.
Davis County Commissioner Alan Hansen went through with the "kiss-a-horse" ceremony in Farmington, Utah. Tuesday, but it was a makeup for missing the original payoff, which involved the drooling champion steer at the county fair.
"Thankfully, it was a horse that had a dry mouth as opposed to a slobbery cow," Hansen told the Salt Lake Tribune.
Hansen's date with Reno, a sand-colored filly who took it all in stride, came after employees at Davis Hospital and Medical Center lost a tad more combined weight than their counterparts at the county building.
The Tribune (NYSE:TXA) noted that although Hansen was conveniently out of town during the county fair, two of his fellow commissioners were stuck and had to pucker up for a steer that one said "dripped drool by the gallon."
