Abe and Moshe!
Abe ran into Moishe one afternoon. "Moishe, nu? What's new?"
"Abe, I'm into racehorses at the moment. I have a couple of real
winners and have won a lot of money already."
"How can I get into it, Moishe?"
"Well, I have a horse I'm looking to sell. It has had 24 starts and
won nine of them. I'll let you have it for £120,000."
Abe agreed and gave Moishe a cheque for £120,000.
Three days later, Abe was excitedly waiting at the front gate for his
horse to arrive. The horse van pulled up and inside was a dead
racehorse.
A month later, Abe runs into Moishe, who has been avoiding him the
last few weeks.
"Moishe, nu? What's new?"
"Umm, things are well. And with you?"
"Things are great!"
"Abe, you're not upset I sold you a dead racehorse?"
"Not at all Moishe. In fact, it made me a lot of money."
"How is that? It was dead!"
"Well, I had a raffle. I sold 100,000 tickets at £5 a ticket with the
horse as the prize."
"Wasn't the winner upset he won a dead racehorse?"
Abe shrugs, "so, I gave him back his £5!"
