Failure of horse racing and betting
Here's a sad story that proves you can't beat the horses. This fellow went to the races one day. In the first race, his eye was caught by the name, Charley Boy. Since his own name was Charley, he looked further. Charley Boy's number was three. Today was the third birthday of Charley's twins. Charley Boy's colors were blue and pink. Charley's twins were a boy and a girl. How could it miss? It all added up. So Charley went and put his all on Charley Boy.
Unfortunately, Charley Boy came in a dead last. "That'll teach me," mourned Charley. "I'll never make another bet on a sure thing."
