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!"
