BTW, I suddenly realised this morning that one of the great unsung miracles
of Jesus, would be getting on a colt that's never been ridden and not being
immediately thrown off.

Walter Wink in Engaging the Powers described Jesus' procession  as
farce, with him trying to ride an unbroken donkey colt, a satire of a
triumphal procession.  He said it must have taken all of the disciples
to catch and hold the creature long enough for Jesus to mount it.
