“Doctor,” he said as he entered the veterinary’s office, “I am about to sell a horse to a grocer, and he wants you to pass on the animal’s age.” “How old is he?” “Sixteen.” “How old does the grocer want him to be?” “Seven.” “Ah—l see. A dollar a year for nine years is nine dollars. Vhat an abstinate fellow the grocer must be! He might as well have -wanted a horse nine years old, and thus save you $2!” — Detroit Free Press.
