My best friend has a donkey, Jack.  Jack is old and pretty much has the 
run of her place.  They are building a huge barn on their property and 
have been trying to keep Jack away, for his own safety mostly.  If he 
goes into the barn area(it now has a roof but no enclosed sides) they 
shoo him out or scare him out.  Apparently Jack took offense to being 
run out of what he thinks is his new barn.  He backed up to a board that 
contained a circular saw...the saw was 2 feet off the ground on a 
2x10..and pooped directly on the saw.  The way the board/saw was, he had 
to back in there, multiple steps, to do the deed.  There is no way he 
could have gone in there and turned around.  It was a calculated act.
So yeah, they do have a sense of humor.
