Paddy Went To The Races

[kevjohn]

Paddy went to the races, knowing absolutely nothing about horses he

picks the one with the best name, Sir Lancelot.

Anyway this horse has odds of 2000 to 1.

Any body with racing experience knows that a snail

would give a horse like this a run for it's money.

Anyway, they get to the loading blocks and after several minutes they

start to race.

After a couple hundred meters Sir Lancelot, who happened to be doing

quite well, suddenly turned around and started heading back to the

starting block.

Paddy started getting all excited and stood up screaming, go Sir Lancelot, go Sir Lancelot.

A few seconds later Sir Lancelot crossed

the finish line the opposite way.

Old Paddy was ecstatic and yelled out 'I'm rich'.

His English mate, who was with him, said 'Hey Paddy, why are you so

happy, that was one dud of a horse. For crying out loud, he ran the wrong bloody way'.

'That does not matter' Paddy said with a grin 'I backed it both ways'
