            Crazy how different lives can be. Probably one of the first tools that I learned.

              First tool I ever learned about was ronald reagan. Then again, I grew up in the 80s.

          Ooooh, I never would have thought. We do use a horse-related word for the sawhorse in my language, but had never encountered it in English until now.

          In my mind, the joke was kind of more abstract:

          “the seahorse looks tense now because it’s alive”, “the wood horse is technically dead so it’s no longer tense” (of course, if I think about it more, it makes no sense because the sawhorse is hard and therefore “tense”…)
