I don't get it.
Fire, water, earth, air.
Fire-I get that part, heat the metal.
Water- To cool the metal after it is forged? Not sure I get that part.
Earth? I don't get it
Air? I don't get it. Also to help cool the metal perhaps?

Earth could refer to the fact that the steel used to make the horseshoes is mined from underground.

Water is used to temper and quench forged iron. Air is used to heat the furnace. Earth is from where you get iron ore.

A man walks into a doctor's office complaining of a stomach ache. "What are you eating," the doc asks. "I only eat pool balls," the man says. "I eat red for breakfast, yellow and orange for lunch, blue for afternoon snacks, and purple and black for dinner." "I see the problem," the doc says.
What is the problem?

The problem is that he's eating wood billiard balls.

The following was seen on a hardware store window:
Hardware Special
$.25 each
100 for $.75
1000 for $1.00
10,000 for $1.25
What were they selling?
Tiberius responded with:
Buying numbers. Each number is $0.25.
but I can't wrap my mind around it.

Each number is worth .25. So 100 with 3 numbers in it is worth .75

It's easier if you say "numeral" or "digit" instead of "number."
