Joke Of The Week

It's Tuesday...That means it's time for the joke of the week!!!!

History was made this past Saturday at the run for the roses..the Kentucky Derby. For the first time in its more than century old tradition the race featured a horse that was half blind.

That's right, Storm In May is completely blind in one eye. The big day also marked the first time a jockey used a long 6 foot red and white pole moving from side to side in front of the horse as a whip.

The organizers of the Derby refused to buck every tradition. Each year before the race begins the Marine Corps Band plays My Old Kentucky Home...this year to honor Storm In May the horses' owners wanted the band to play Sammy Davis Jr's "candyman".

Storm In May finished out of the money....not only a disappointment for those who wagered the outcome..but also, the loss ended any hopes the horse had of teaming with Mr. Ed on the hit reality show "Dancing With The Stars"...becoming the latest contestant to dance with a prosthesis.
