benmar: Oh man. I was hoping for Ronnie Soak as the next protagonist.
Unfortunately the great man has left us.
nightcraw1er.488: Not following you, we are talking about horseMEN, not huMAN. horseMAN would be singular in that instance. So maybe equine mounted humanoid.
amok: when you are talking about a group of people "men" becomes gender-less and is more a description of what the group in general consist of, unless you want the group to consist of a particular gender. Therefor it all boils down to context -
and 'horsemen' can men a group of men on horseback, a group of men and women on horseback, or half-horse / half-human hybrids. All are as equally valid. So your joke, unfortunately, is very context sensitive.
So is any joke, do lighten up.
A man arrives at 221b Baker Street and charges into the living room in quite a state. Sherlock Holmes raises his head and states "My good man, you are in trouble, have just left the navy, arrived here on 12:14 train from plymouth, and had an accident near a fishmongers. Your mother was a ministers wife, and you lived for some time in New York." Watson pipes up "Good lord Sherlock how do you do it. Now do sit down old chap and tell us what the problem is". The mans sits and states "I fear someone is stalking me".
Cant for the life of me remember where I heard that one.
