Farmer has Rather Muddy 15 Minutes of Fame the epiphany

Poor Glen Chupp. His 15 minutes of infamy has been stretched to a few hours. This local farmer experienced a freak accident that to him was probably quite frightening, and is now somewhat embarrassing. While I did take the liberties on the small details, this actually happened, much to the amusement of Glen’s friends and neighbors.

On Thanksgiving morning Glen and his wife Wanita were making hurried preparations to attend a wedding. Glen was hustling about the morning chores before leaving for the wedding. As so often happens when we’re in a hurry, a small annoyance appeared a lot bigger.

The start of our story set his hay bale down to check the water tank. When Glen returned, one of the horses, Frank, already had his nose buried in the unopened hay bale, greedily gorging himself before the accepted time. This was the spark that flew into Glen’s tinderbox.

Farmer Chupp hurriedly decided it was high time to teach Frank a lesson. So instead of barking at the feeding equine and scaring him away, Glen snuck quietly up behind him to deliver a punishment. The handiest instrument of discipline was Glen’s own foot, so that is what he used.

After a quiet but determined wind-up, Glen delivered his kick to the hind quarters of the horse. Right at that moment is when things started to go terribly wrong. Glen’s foot went up, but defying Newton’s law of gravity, it did not come back down. Not right away.

Glen’s foot was caught in the tail of the horse, A horse that had just been unsuspectingly kicked by an angry human.

Bad things started happening at a very rapid pace. Obviously Frank did not spend much time saying “How do you do?” or “Excuse me1” but commenced leaving the scene of the crime at a very high rate of speed. Yep, you guessed it. Glen still had his foot caught in the horse’s tail and was going along for a very unwelcome ride.

The one-foot hop did not last very long and Mr. Chupp was reduced to sliding along the ground on his rear, one leg sticking crazily up to Frank’s tail.

This unorthodox one-horse open sleigh headed for the barnyard still picking up speed. No one, however, was singing “Jingle Bells.”

Outside the barn door was a knee -deep mixture of mud and horse manure. Horse and man went through this obstacle full-tilt, Glen looking like a wiped-out skier with the rope tied to his foot. He even had a wake like a skier, but a very brown and slimy one.

Frank was on his way to the manure pile without slowing to ask for directions. Full-steam ahead, up and over the manure pile went Frank, dragging the quite-frightened Glen with him.

Somewhere past the manure pile, Glen’s foot finally came loose, thankfully before a date with the fast approaching fence post. Glen was left unceremoniously there, covered from head to toe with mud, manure and filth, but filled with relief on the inside.

An embarrassing episode of this magnitude would have been enough for some harassment and chuckles from the neighbors for a few weeks or maybe even a couple months, but someone conspired to prolong the spotlight for Glen.

Or perhaps this someone just wanted to share the humor with more people across the community.

For whatever purpose, this someone turned the story over to another someone who committed the episode to verse. A very catchy and amusing song actually, is what was composed. This song was them sung on someone else’s voicemail and the cat was completely out of the sack.

With the network of voicemail the Amish use, forwarding this song from one person to the next is fairly simple. In a short time the song would be all over the Amish community. Those who didn’t receive the song on their voicemails called their friends or relatives and asked for it. Glen Chupp became center of attention.

From what I know of Glen though, I imagine he is being a good sport and joining in the laughter at himself.

There is at least one upside to this, Glen. Just think how many more copies you’ll sell of your future autobiography. Don’t you think people might pay to read your story firsthand? I have a title suggestion. How about “Horse Tails and Voicemails”?
