Utah county commissioner Hansen kisses horse to pay for lost bet

Utah county commissioner Hansen kisses horse to pay for lost bet

Saturday, August 23, 2008

Fox News is carrying an AP story that a “Utah county official (has) made good on a lost bet — by puckering up for a pony.

“Davis County Commissioner Alan Hansen found himself kissing a 3-year-old sand-colored horse named Reno after a contest between Davis County and the Davis Hospital Medical Center over who could lose the most weight.

“Members of the team that shed the most pounds got to watch their boss kiss a farm animal. This year, the county employees won — losing 397.6 pounds, just slightly trimmer than the hospital workers.

“Hansen was not around when his fellow commissioners locked lips with a cow over the weekend, but met up with Reno on the front steps of the county courthouse for a quick smooch.

“But not before he slathered on some lip balm and popped a breath mint.
He told the mare: ‘This is more for you than me.’ ”
