'there's got to be a pony in there, somewhere'

Posted by Ward Fredericks February 16, 2004

In a message to my favorite Aussie restauranteur, I used the expression above. It comes from an old joke about two sons, one an optimist, and one a pessimist. I won't go into the jokes' details, but want to ask, worldwide, if that expression is used and understood?
