A semi-retired jockey was asked by an old friend to ride his new
horse in the Grand National.He explained that the horse had been
secretly trained in Germany and,provided the jockey obeyed certain instructions,was guaranteed to win.
Before the horses lined up for the start the friend told the jockey
that as he came to each fence he should shout in the horse's ear,
1,2,3,jump.
Thinking this was stupid the jockey decided he wouldn't do it.When they reached the first fence the horse ran right through it.
When it reached the second it ran through that one.Then it
proceeded to do they same for every subsequent fence,until they
came to the last.The jockey leaned forward and shouted,"1,2,3,
jump".The horse sailed over the fence but only managed to finish
4th.
Later the friend complained that the jockey hadn't given the horse it's proper instructions.The jockey said,"I did,the horse must be deaf".
The friend replied," No,he's blind".
