Making a Bet

"Making a Bet"*

*There once was a young sailor who couldn't resist
a bet. He would make a bet on anything and he would
always win. His shipmates were continually losing their
money to him, making them very irritated. The Captain
decided to have the boy transferred to another ship.

The next day the boy was transferred, and less than
fifteen minutes after boarding the ship, the boy
addressed his new Captain and bet him 50 dollars he
had hemorrhoids. The new Captain had just gotten a
physical and knew there was no way he could have
hemorrhoids, so he agreed to the bet.

The boy told his new Captain to drop his drawers and
bend over. The Captain did so, and when he bent over,
the boy shoved a broomstick up the Captain's butt.

The sailor found no hemorrhoids and paid the Captain
50 bucks. The new Captain thought this was great and
wanted to call the boy's old Captain and tell him.

When he got the old Captain on the phone he told him
he had just taken 50 dollars from the boy. The old
Captain replied, "How?"

"Well," explained the Captain, "he bet me I had
hemorrhoids. I knew I didn't so I bet him. He told me
to drop my drawers and bend over. When I did, he
shoved a broomstick up my butt. Hey, no hemorrhoids.
Fifty bucks I won."

The old Captain shouted, "That SOB! Before he left
here he bet me 500 dollars that within an hour he
would have a broomstick shoved up your arse!"
