Анекдоты

Pat and Mike bought two horses at a sale in County Cork, but the two horses looked so much alike that Pat said to Mike, "How are we gonna tell whose horse is whose? " "We'll bob the tail of one of "em," said Mike. By mistake the tails on both horses were bobbed, so Pat asked Mike what he thought they should do now. "I'm going to need to think on this one," said Mike. "Until I can figure out what to do, you take the white one and I'll take the black."
