A champion jockey is about to enter an important race on a

new horse. The horses trainer meets him before the race and

says, All you have to remember with this horse is that every

time you approach a jump, you have to shout, ALLLLEEE OOOP!

really loudly in the horses ear. Providing you do that,

youll be fine.



The jockey thinks the trainer is mad but promises to shout the

command. The race begins and they approach the first hurdle.

The jockey ignores the trainers ridiculous advice and the

horse crashes straight through the center of the jump.



They carry on and approach the second hurdle. The jockey,

somewhat embarrassed, whispers Aleeee ooop in the horses

ear. The same thing happens–the horse crashes straight through

the center of the jump.



At the third hurdle, the jockey thinks, Its no good, Ill

have to do it, and yells, ALLLEEE OOOP! really loudly. Sure

enough, the horse sails over the jump with no problems. This

continues for the rest of the race, but due to the earlier

problems the horse only finishes third.



The trainer is fuming and asks the jockey what went wrong. The

jockey replies, Nothing is wrong with me–its this bloody

horse. What is he–deaf or something?



The trainer replies, Deaf?? DEAF?? Hes not deaf–hes BLIND!
