      When I was in college (Lancaster, PA), I remember being told of an Amish term: “Heeba Hobba”. The Heeba Hobba’s job was either to help male horses insert their penises into mares, or to masturbate them for artificial insemination.  I think I would just leave a gap on my resume and say I was in prison.

      I miss the sound of the knife sharpener in his pseudo ice cream truck. Always bummed out the kids, after they come running outside expecting treats. However, dads everywhere came running out with lawn mower blades, knives, yard tools, etc.

      Rodeo clowns are some of the bravest / craziest men out there - even more than the cowboys themselves. When the rider gets thrown, the clowns have to run up to the bull and distract it so it doesn’t trample the rider - so the bull tries to trample the clown. All the clown gets is a flimsy plastic barrel. Rodeo is the best sport.
