It was a pretty common thing for people to have problems getting a saddle cinched up, or getting on the horse once saddled, because they were afraid, the horse sensed it, and would shy, or sometimes kick out. So dad would put his big arm over the horse's neck, lay his palm on the head with his fingers down the forehead, and bite the horses left ear. Not hard, mind you, but firm., the horses ear tight between dad's canines.  Now the owner could get in the saddle, or get the belly band cinched properly, and after a couple of times the owner got over his/her apprehension. I always figured they called guys like dad horse whisperers because of the ear thing. I guess it did look like dad was whispering to the horse- he was always careful never to let the owner see him bite. Maybe that's a trade secret I've given away, I don't know.

Ok, but you have to do the same when you get your ears nibbled

A girl who worked for me came into the office one day with the biggest love-bite you ever saw, on her neck.

She had to deal face to face with customers, so I asked her to cover up her love-bite with a high-neck blouse, or scarf, or whatever.

She said it was not a love-bite, a horse had bitten her on her neck.....

I decided not to investigate any further.

  more and more bizarre

Her Dad worked for me too, & I had occasion to give him a final Warning for persistent lateness. (You could reprrimand, even sack people, in those days...).

He arrived late once too often, so I called him in.

Sorry John, I said, but this is too much, you are on a week's notice.

Nooo, he said, I can explain. I lost my false teeth on the train.

You did WHAT, I said, how that happen?

"I was sick, on the tube train, & as I threw up, my teeth fell out".

"Not buying that", I said, you could have just picked them up.

"No, you don't understand", he went on, "I  threw up out of the window, so my teeth fell into the tunnel, & I had to ask the Station Staff to collect them for me".

Well, if anyone remembers the opening windows on London Tube Tains - little 6" tall things, that opened about 3", at head height, you'd know it was just impossible to throw up via a tube train window.

But for the sheer ingenuity of his excuse, he kept his job. Many years later, he had THE most fearful & bizarre accident when working for me, so bizarre that it topped the train/teeth story by a mile, but this time it was, sadly, true. He recovered eventually (minus his manhood), & I got successfully prosecuted by the Health & Safety Executive for failing to supply him with bicycle clips....!

Work THAT one out.
