> Reviving this thread for a really obscure one. It happens repeatedly in d=
ifferent forms on several albums and I've always wondered where it came fro=
m. 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 havi=
ng trouble finding it. It shows up again in Giant Rat of Sumatra as "Do you=
 like seahorses?" and then shows up again in the soap opera scene from In t=
he Next World You're On Your Own. Has anybody else noticed this? Or can any=
body shed more light on it?

I just found the first time I noticed "Do you like horses?"  It's in How Ca=
n You Be In Two At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All. It's just after Ba=
be checks into the only Nice Hotel in town. It's not in the Big Book, but i=
t's definitely on the record.
