An airport is probably the last place you want to mess around. With security watching closely and plenty of rules to follow, the last thing anyone wants is to make the wrong joke and end up being denied boarding.

That doesn’t mean laughing is completely off limits, though. Sometimes something genuinely funny happens right in front of you, and the only reasonable response is to pull out your phone and capture it. Below, we’ve rounded up some hilarious airport photos that made ordinary travel days a lot more entertaining.

    The side eye of the pony says "send help". The attire is less strange as it looks. Hoove shoes are pretty common for non-shod horses, the socks are anti-fly socks, also pretty common, and the lycra is used either for therapy reasons or when trying to keep your white horse clean for a couple of hours. But, as the avareage p**p frequency is two hours and a lot per act, I am concerned about how this is going to work. And how to strap the pony into a seat
