Reviving this thread for a really obscure one.  It happens repeatedly in di=
fferent forms on several albums and I've always wondered where it came from=
.  For some reason, buried in background conversation is the phrase, "Do yo=
u like horses?"  I know it shows up in one of the early albums, but I'm hav=
ing trouble finding it.  It shows up again in Giant Rat of Sumatra as "Do y=
ou like seahorses?" and then shows up again in the soap opera scene from In=
 the Next World You're On Your Own.  Has anybody else noticed this?  Or can=
 anybody shed more light on it?
