E-Z Game

"E-Z Game"*

*A blackjack dealer and a player with a thirteen
count in his hand were arguing about whether
or not it was appropriate to tip the dealer.

The player said, "When I get bad cards, it's not
the dealer's fault. Accordingly, when I get good
cards, the dealer obviously had nothing to do
with it so, why should I tip him?"

The dealer said, "When you eat out, do you tip the waiter?"

"Yes."

"Well then, he serves you food, I'm serving you cards so you should tip me."

"Okay, but, the waiter gives me what I ask for. I'll take an eight."

"Alllleee Ooop!"*

*A champion jockey is about to enter an important race on a new horse.

The horse's trainer meets him before the race and
says, "All you have to remember with this horse is
that every time you approach a jump, you have to
shout, 'ALLLLEEE OOOP!' really loudly in the horse's
ear. Providing you do that, you'll be fine."

The jockey thinks the trainer is mad but promises
 to shout the command.

The race begins and they approach the first hurdle.
The jockey ignores the trainer's ridiculous advice
and the horse crashes straight through the center of the jump.

They carry on and approach the second hurdle. The
jockey, somewhat embarrassed, whispers "Aleeee
ooop" in the horse's ear. The same thing happens --
the horse crashes straight through the center of the jump.

At the third hurdle, the jockey thinks, "It's no good,
I'll have to do it" and yells, "ALLLEEE OOOP!" really loudly.

Sure enough, the horse sails over the jump with no
problems. This continues for the rest of the race, but
due to the earlier problems the horse only finishes third.

The trainer is fuming and asks the jockey what went wrong.

The jockey replies, "Nothing is wrong with me -- it's
this bloody horse. What is he -- deaf or something?"

The trainer replies, "Deaf? DEAF? He's not deaf. He's BLIND!"
