OK, I'll bite, but I just have a couple questions. How do they know? Did the horse tell them? Is "Mr. Ed" still alive?
:laughing:Sorry Roy, I don't think there are any wife trainers here.

Actually the horse sort of did tell them. The way to train a draft animal to respond to the commands is to hitch them with another animal that knows the commands. The older trained horse responds to the commands and the younger horse figures it out.
I don't know how they taught the first one.

Heres 2 of mine one is famous and the other one was coined by an old crusty Superintendent on a job.
I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
Henry David Thoreau
The one old Fred coined was We had a younger worker on one of our crews that got into dope bad. He was a roided out body builder on the side. He had gotten into it with a 6 foot 5 inch tall hulk of a man named Big Jim. Jim was quiet but pretty firm. THe young man was about 25 and Jim had caught him stealing from the job.
The boy tried to jump him and had pulled knife. Jim Popped him in the head with a fst apparently and the boy had an unknown annuerism that burst in his brain and he died.
Monday morning the news broke out at the morning meeting while we were letting the machines warm up.
About that time the announcement was made one of the laborers that worked with the boy said well isnt anyone gonna say anything on behalf of the his coworker. The Super looked out over the crowd with hard hat in hand and head bowed and said.
Ashes to Ashes dust to dust If ole Jody hadnt messed with Big Jim his A55 would still be with us.

You can tell an idiot (fool in some versions) but you can't tell them much.
(For supporting evidence see Bird's thread on climate.)
Stepping over the dollars to pick up the dimes.
He could brighten up the whole room by just leaving it.
Tomorrow tomorrow and tomorrow creep in this petty pace from day to day and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out out brief candle, life is but a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more, a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and furry, signifying nothing. Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Never wise up a chump, never give a sucker an even break. W.C fields
When you don't know whether to sh*t or go blind... close one eye and f*rt.
Abbreviated Viet Nam era USAF preflight checklist:
Kick the tires, light the fires and blast off.
May the devil take the hindmost.
When in worry, when in doubt,
run in circles, scream and shout.
A wink is as good as a nod to a blind (horse/bat there are two versions)
Nuke 'em till they glow in the dark so we can see to shoot 'em at night.
Never change horses in mid stream.
Better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.

Sailing: The art of slowly going nowhere at great expense while becoming violently ill.
Boat: Wood or fiberglass hole in the water into which you through immense quantities of money.
No matter where you go, there you are. Buckaroo Banzai
Talking to you has been like having a swarm of bees buzzing inside my head but... well there they are.

I said this years ago.
