I went to a donkey baseball game one time. So, at least, donkeys are entertaining, in a fun sorta way, as opposed to a pathetic sorta way.
A donkey may not be the smartest creature on earth, but at least he is smart enough to know that he doesn't know everything there is to know. And a donkey doesn't get upset when he is told that he doesn't know everything.
Did you ever train an AOWM to vote for a republican? It's easy. It's virtually automatic. They'll do it, no matter who the candidate is.
