All for the Loss of One Nail

During a battle many years ago a soldier was sent to deliver a message to the king. The soldier's horse lost a nail in one of the shoes. With that one nail gone, the shoe eventually fell off. The horse eventually went lame, and the soldier was forced to walk. The enemy came along and the soldier couldn't get away. He was killed by the enemy, and the important message was lost. The enemy eventually attacked the castle, and the king lost his kingdom. All because one horseshoe nail was lost!

Folks...you never know what effect you might cause when you fall out of formation here. We all have work to do.
