A trip into American culture 16 11, 4:03am

I remember Mr. Ed. I'm so getting old. There was an episode where Mr. Ed wanted to be secret agent Oat Oat Seven.

Horses are smart. I saw a documentary showing a woman who taught her horse to "sing" using hand gestures. It's the same as Mr. Ed's speaking except for the background sound.

There was a Law & Order episode, "Corpus Delicti", where Det. Briscoe (of course) does a great imitation of Mr. Ed when his partner, Det. Curtis doesn't want to pursue the case.
Detective Rey Curtis: I didn't become a detective to investigate dead animals.
Detective Lennie Briscoe: [voice imitating Mr. Ed] Oh come on, Wilbur. Somebody killed a horse. You're not going to let him get away with it, are you?
