Dad Joke CCXXXXV

Reader TheAxe left a comment on yesterday's post about a never heard of before Roman Emperor:

How did Incitatus vote when he was in the Senate?  "Neigh!" 

Note: Incitatus was supposedly the Emperor Caligula's favorite race horse, and he supposedly appointed him to the Senate.

    That should have been " Dad Joke XXXIX A.D."

    Libertyman, I think that's actually the Latin for "LOL".

    Aesop, his position seemed to be that the Senate was a body filled with fussy old men and hot air. One can see his point.

    OldNFO, see my remarks to Libertyman. Animus risu novatur, indeed.

    Caligula appointed his entire horse as a Senator.

    Most American states economize over Caligula's example, sending only the rear end of the horse to serve.
