PICKUP TRUCKS pulling horse trailers began to converge at the county fair. An obviously frustrated woman was trying to turn a trailer around, maneuvering it back and forth between a bank on one side of the narrow road and a ditch on the other. Traffic came to a halt. A man got out of his car, walked up to the window of the truck and said, "Take your time. Everyone has a bad day now and then." "You think this is bad?" the woman retorted. "I forgot the horse!"
