 >>So, 
am I missing something here, as usual?  Are there parts to a female 
endurance rider I was not aware of? What does Susan do with them after she 
cuts them off? (every time I think of what she did to Howard, the bull, who is 
now a steer, I cry).  Does she sell them to female endurance riders at a 
cut-rate discount?  Is this some kind of secret tradition that only female 
riders know about?  Are ya'll a bunch of "Masons," with a secret handshake 
and hidden agendas?  Is this the real reason why there aren't too many male 
endurance riders out there anymore?  As you can see, I got lots of 
questions.  I'm concerned.<< 
  
Howard, as usual you raise the topics everyone else is loath to 
touch...  :-) 
  
Out here in the West, endurance men do NOT sleep outside or in 
tents due to the danger of losing their family jewels via a 
clandestine operation during the night.  We sleep with one eye open, and a 
frying pan duct-taped in an appropriate location.
