Well, if this man "rode out" on Friday like you said? When you say that, it makes me think of riding out on a horse. [Was it a horse? He tilts his head, thinking.] Thinking about it that way, wouldn't it make sense if Friday was the horse's name instead?

[Does that make sense? He can't really think of any other answers and it's possible he might be wrong here.]
