The public is so ridiculously gullible. Most

The public is so ridiculously gullible. Most actually believe antifreeze and coolant come in the same bottle. I once sold a balled up piece of paper to a guy as a paperweight for

his roof. "That oughta hold 'er," I said as he taped the paper down. The same guy went to Rent-A-Center to fill his doughnut holes when classy friends visited. My get rich quick

scheme was prone to inflation fast, I thought to myself. So I reopened the email from the Nigerian. 'Deer Sir, I am so happily to informate you that your heritage is waiting for

godot. (That should confuse the Nigerian Prince). Please remember sire, two in the hand makes only one in the bush, and although a horse can drown, be careful when leading him

to water. But being on a ride through the Nubian desert on a horse with no name,I didn't worry about drowning my horse. The Nigerian Prince's henchman were behind me. Godot waited

for a cab, but none would come. I could hear the Nigerian Prince singing filthy lyrics, so I disguised my nameless horse with an inflatable platypus and hid behind a sand dune.

My platypus-horse was a Triple Crown winner and his name was Otto. His uncle Ian was also a racing champion. They knew when to tread softly and change forms. It was fantastic to

watch them gallop around the track as they readied for the next race. He, Otto be a champion again I thought. Suddenly, the jockey atop Otto veered to the left to

wards the center of the ring. I gritted my teeth as I watched his movement away from the track. What was the Jockey thinking?! The race would be lost!
