Great Horse?
A traveling salesman stopped alongside a field on a country road to rest a few minutes. The man had just closed his eyes when a horse came to the fence and began to boast about his past:
"Yes sir, I'm a fine horse. I've run in 25 races and won over $5 million dollars. I keep my trophies in the barn." The salesman computed the value of having a talking horse, found the horse's owner and offered a handsome sum for the animal.
"Aw, you don't want that horse," said the farmer. "Yes I do," said the salesman, "and I'll give you $100,000 for the horse."
Recognizing a good deal, the farmer said without hesitation, "He's yours."
While he wrote out his check, the salesman asked, "By the way, why wouldn't I want your horse?" "Because," said the farmer, "he's a liar - he hasn't won a race in his life."
On this day:
In 1535, Henry VIII declared himself head of the Church in England, thus the British Church and State were unified, and remain so to this day.
In 1559, Elizabeth I was crowned Queen of England in Westminster Abbey, also becoming head of the Church in England.
And last but by no means least...
Happy Birthday, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968).
