>A champion jockey is about to enter an important race on a new horse.
>
>The horse's 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 horse's ear. Providing
>you do that, you'll 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 trainer's 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 horse's ear. The same thing
>happens -- the horse crashes straight through the center of the jump.
>
>At the third hurdle, the jockey thinks, "It's no good, I'll 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 -- it's this bloody horse.
>What is he -- deaf or something?"
>
>The trainer replies, "Deaf? DEAF? He's not deaf. He's BLIND!"
