A plane passed through a severe storm. The turbulence was awful, and things went from bad to worse when one wing was struck by lighting. One woman lost it completely.

She stood up in the front of the plane and screamed, 'I'm too young to die,' she cried.  Then she yelled, 'if I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there anyone on this plane who can make me feel like a woman?'

For a moment, there was silence, Everyone stared at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then a man from Alabama stood up in the rear of the plane.  He was handsome, tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.  Slowly, he started to walk up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt as he went, one button at a time.

No one moved.

He removed his shirt. Muscles rippled across his chest.

She gasped....

Then he spoke, 'Iron this -- and get me a beer.'

The horse world is dreadfully guilty of political incorrectness. Citizens, we can fix this!

• From now on, the rider who came in 128th out of 127 competitors isn’t a major loser; he’s ribbon-deprived.
• We’ll refer to awful jumpers as potential dressage horses and horrid dressage horses will be called event prospects (oh, wait, we’ve been doing that for years anyway).
• Prominent horsepeople who go to jail for tax evasion are, um, ethically challenged.
• Judges who make stupid decisions are myopically magnificent.
• A twitch is a lip tourniquet.
• Instructors, refrain from telling any student that she has a bad seat. Instead, tell this rider that she has astronomical potential for butt improvement.
• A horse that always crashes through the jumps is merely in touch with his personal sense of gravity. Likewise, a bad mover isn’t an eggbeater with legs --- he’s kinetically challenged.
• A horse who won’t go forward is a whoa-overachiever.
• Waterlogged showgrounds are humidity super-enriched.

There! See what a positive place your barn can be?

Problem: the term ‘politically incorrect’ is politically incorrect. It’s too critical. The whole point is to single out someone’s most sensitive trouble area and then simultaneously glorify the fortitude it takes to overcome the matter while completely avoiding any clear reference to the actual problem. Hey, we’re truth-impaired, but we’re sensitive! A better term for politically incorrect would be ‘socially under-euphemismed.’

Like the political correctness craze, the trend toward uber-safety has affected the equestrian world. Riders are advised to sleep with their helmets on. Just because. Horses who routinely buck their riders off should also wear certified helmets just in case a falling equestrian impacts at a high rate of speed with an equine noggin. In fact, goggles might a good idea for horses that buck; riders are just full of sharp edges like fingernails and elbows and a poke in the eye can be quite painful.

In an attempt to promote better safety for horses and riders, here are some new warning labels to consider:

• Do not place haynet over head while skydiving or eating corn on the cob.
• Warning: insect repellent may infringe upon the constitutional rights of the insect community. Consult attorney before spraying.
• Please remove riding shirt before placing in dryer.
• When saddle-breaking three-year-old horses, apply leg sparingly. If swelling or redness of rider occurs, discontinue immediately and seek professional trainer.
• Warning! Surface of arena is closer than it appears. Much, much closer.
• Inflate ponies to 50 psi when cold.
• Do not affix jumper cables to your big toes when engine is on. (This has nothing to do with horses; it’s just plain good advice.)
