(THE MICROBES)

THERE WERE THESE TWO GERM CELLS IN THE BLOODSTREAM OF A
HORSE, ONE ALWAYS IN THE VEINS AND ONE ALWAYS IN THE
ARTERIES. ONE DAY THEY MET, BY CHANCE, IN THE HORSE'S
HEART. THEY GOT TO DISCUSSING THEIR BORING EXISTENCE
UNTIL THEY HAPPENED ON THE IDEA OF EXCHANGING ROUTES.
SO THEY DID AND SOON THE HORSE DIED.
THIS ONLY GOES TO SHOW THAT YOU CAN'T CHANGE STREAMS IN
THE MIDDLE OF A HORSE.
