An accountant was walking along in the country when he came upon a shepherd. The accountant says,
"Listen, Farmer, I can guess how many sheep you have."
The farmer starts to laugh:
"I have a lot of sheep. You'll never guess how many."
"Do you want to make a bet?" asks the accountant. "If I can guess how many sheep you have, you'll give me one of your sheep. If I can't, I'll pay you $100."
The shepherd concedes: "Ok, how many there are?"
"You have exactly 1,354 sheep," says the accountant.
The shepherd is shocked: "Incredible! I really do have 1,354 sheep! Well, a bet's a bet. Choose the sheep you want."
"OK, I'll take this one," says the accountant, picking it up.
Wait for a moment, sir," says the shepherd. "Let's make another bet: If I guess your job, you will give me back my sheep, and if I don't, you can take another one." The accountant agrees to the bet and the shepherd
says, "You are an accountant."
"Unbelievable! That's true! But how did you know?" wonders the accountant.
"Give me back my dog, and I'll explain."
Way back in 1863, in a place called Dodge City, there was a Friday Night Poker Game. Taco Bill always had one....behind his restaurant. The sheriff never did find out about it.
Well, one Friday night, the usual players were on hand. There was Sweet Jim, One Keg Larry, Smokin' Jack, Sour Sam and One-Eyed Ed. And of course, Taco Bill.
That night, the stakes got really high and everyone was getting pretty drunk. Round about midnight, someone caught
Sweet Jim cheatin'. As expected, a gunfight broke out. Jim took 3 bullets to the heart. Unfortunately, Sour Sam got
caught in the cross-fire and he too, took 3 bullets to the heart.
The other players became really worried....not because of the dead players but rather, they didn't want the sheriff
finding out about their Friday night card game.
Taco Bill spoke up and told them not to worry.
Next day, on his menu was a Special......"All you can eat Sweet and Sour Meatballs ....10ยข".
A man walks into a butcher's shop and inquires of the butcher:
"Are you a gambling man?" The butcher says "Yes", so the man said: "I bet you L50 that you can't reach up and touch that meat hanging on the hooks up there." The butcher says "I'm not betting on that."
"But I thought you were a gambling man" the man retorts.
"Yes I am" says the butcher "but the steaks are too high."
Four cowboys were at an old saloon in Tombstone playing poker. A lot of money was at stake as the cards were dealt, and each was keeping a sharp eye on the other.
As one of the players called the hand and laid out his cards, another one stood up in amazement.
"Hey, George is cheatin'. He ain't playin' the cards I dealt him!"
