Oh no! I think this took place in the USA so Dodge could be a make of car and
the horse would be "a one horse town".

Occam's razor.

1. If the facts of the case are correctly reported,
the nature of time in Dodge is non-euclidean.
2. The english language is richly laden with
complex mappings between sound, sense and meaning.
3.Either a transdimensional being is posing a
question or a rose is a rose is a rose.
