Honestly what the fuck is going on with the jockey? That strange little man with the weird helium voice and the coloured silk shirts... Seen a naked jockey? No hair...none. Hairless like those Sphynx cats but much, much weirder. They are less built than my 5 year old daughter. When I hear a jockey interviewed I freak out because I think it’s a fucked up Muppet. They are oompah loompahs with money. They are the basis for the Randy Newman song, “Short People”;
‘They
got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet ‘....sing it!! See what I’m saying?

These
people have to sit in booster seats at restaurants and they smack their pixie
faces into the ground when they sneeze. I asked one at Dooley’s Irish bar once
where his pot of gold was...and never heard his soprano reply. Even the name of
the jockey attire is weird. Toque (the hat), lunettes (no idea), casaque (the
shirt), breeches aka pantaloons (or pants in a normal world)...but apparently a jockey is regarded as
being the 2nd most deadly job, after offshore fishing. From 2002 to
2006 five deaths and 861 serious injuries were recorded. They can also often
have eating disorders such as anorexia and suffer dehydration. Just that needs
bitch slapping and for striking those poor beasts with a whip...which is
possibly called something indulgent like a ‘swank stick’ or something...
I
know I’m not equine inclined but seriously, what the fuck?
