Spanking the horse: Not an idiom, still a crime

Victor Flores was arrested this week for spanking a horse.

No need to go to Urban Dictionary to look up what act spanking the horse is slang for. Flores literally did spank a horse. This was a horse being ridden by a New York City police officer in Times Square and Flores decided to walk up and slap the horse on the ass.

Alcohol, needless to say, was involved. And cocaine. The cocaine being inside Flores’ pocket and the alcohol being inside Flores.

Spank a horse in public - get arrested.
Spank your monkey in public - get arrested.
Is there any animal you can spank in public & not get arrested?

Not only that, you shouldn’t throw a cream pie at a horse’s butt, either

Polar bear? There won’t be enough left of you to arrest.

Considering that a horse kicks upwards, count yourself lucky if you only get arrested!

Better bring a whole lotta cuffs, especially if there are 600 polars!

Boy, that lede just writes itself…
