A top jockey was about to ride a new horse in a major race. Beforehand, the trainer pulled him aside and said, “There’s just one thing you must remember. Every time you come up to a jump, you have to shout ‘ALLLEEE OOOP!’ as loudly as you can right into the horse’s ear. Do that, and everything will be fine.”
The jockey thought the trainer had lost his mind, but he agreed.
The race started, and as they reached the first hurdle, the jockey ignored the strange advice. The horse smashed straight through the middle of the jump.
Approaching the second hurdle, the jockey, now a bit uneasy, muttered “aleeee ooop” under his breath. The result was the same—the horse plowed straight through the jump again.
By the third hurdle, the jockey decided he had nothing to lose. He yelled “ALLLEEE OOOP!” at the top of his lungs. Instantly, the horse cleared the jump perfectly. From then on, every jump went smoothly—but because of the early mistakes, they only managed to finish third.
After the race, the furious trainer demanded to know what had gone wrong.
The jockey snapped back, “There’s nothing wrong with me—it’s this stupid horse! What is he, deaf or something?”
“Deaf?” the trainer shouted. “DEAF?! You fool—he’s not deaf… he’s BLIND!”
