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.
