  • Horse leaves 'deposit' in German bank

    Horse*leaves 'deposit' in German bank - CNN.com

    BERLIN, Germany (AP) -- An early-morning German bank customer had a bit of a shock when he found a horse in line at the automatic teller machine in front of him.

    It seems the horse's owner, identified only as Wolfgang H., had a bit too much to drink the night before and decided to sleep it off inside the bank's heated foyer, police said Tuesday.

    The 40-year-old machinist told Bild newspaper he had had "a few beers" with a friend in Wiesenburg, southwest of Berlin, and decided to hit the hay in the bank on his way home.

    "It was late, it was already dark and cold," he was quoted as saying.

    Confronted with the lack of a hitching-post, he brought the 6-year-old horse, named Sammy, in along with him.

    When a customer came across the horse and sleeping rider in the bank at 4:15 a.m. Monday, he called police, who then came and woke the owner up and sent him on his way.

    No charges were filed, but there might be some cleanup needed: Apparently Sammy made his own after-hours deposit on the carpet.

    I hope Sammy made the after-hours deposit in a sealed envelope! We wouldn't want a cheezed-off manager, do we?

    I'm glad someone showed some 'horse sense'.

      There are times that a "pun" is called for, this was certainly one of them!

        Not sure I would want to collect interest on that deposit...
