I seem to have noticed a rather recent use of this apparently humorous reply, namely "This would never happen in the horsing business". Being French and all, and not living in the US of A, the core of the joke (despite glimpsing the potential facetious potential) is sort of lost on me.
Where does it come from ? Something on American TV ? Any specific context ?
Thanks in advance.

It's not a new "joke", it's just made a resurgence.

Ok fair enough, it's making a resurgence. But from WHERE, and WHEN, and from WHAT CONTEXT ?
Please advise, I would like to understand :(

It was from a story where some guy went to a gamestop and was complaining about something and this random old lady said "this would never happen in the horsing business". I don't remember the details nor if the story is even true or not. But it became a meme

This. I recall someone having this phrase said to them while providing some sort of customer service. The phrase was humorous, because it just seemed so hilariously out of place in the context that it was used.

Aha. Thanks.
NOW the comical effect is indeed deploying itself to its fullest.
Quite humorous indeed. I will start using it too now, I like it :)
