One day a man that had horses went to check on
his favorite one.
He was in for a shock, and as he opened the stall door, he
saw the horse was rabid and foaming at the mouth.
It jumped at him, and, very
quickly, gave him a nasty wound on the arm.
His wife left to call the doctor,
and when she got back she found him writing furiously.
She told him that there
was no need to make out his will, because they had a cure for rabies.
He looked
at her blankly and said, "Will? What will? I'm making a list of people I'm
gonna bite."

If your football team wins 2-0 then you
will probably be happy.
But if your football team is losing 2-0 with ten minutes
to play, and then they score 3 goals to win 3-2 in the last minute you will
probably be over the moon!
If you are over the moon then you are very, very
happy.
It's almost like you are on a high -incredibly happy.
