>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. 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!"
