    I had to explain it to my wife, both in Dutch and English. :-(

          Lol, thanks… :P

          Still didn’t help (even after translating it to English, because obviously it’s just “Hey, horse” - in fact it made it worse as Google translates it as “Hi, horse” which I later learned completely ruins the joke)

          In desperation I searched the joke, and found the same joke elsewhere phrased a different way:

          A horse walks into a bar. “Hey,” says the bartender.

          The horse says “Buddy, you read my mind”

          The difference in telling between “Hey, horse” and just “Hey” was massive and made it instantly clear.

          Hey = Hay

          Dumb I didn’t see it but yeah.
