Horsin’ around the issue

Many years ago a man in rural Ireland was making and selling chicken burgers.

He was mixing horse meat with the chicken but eventually his conscience got the upper hand and he went to confession.

The following dialogue took place in the confessional:

Priest: How much horse meat were you mixing with the chicken?

Man: Oh, fifty-fifty Father. One chicken, one horse.
