Two Polacks go to see a Western movie. In the middle of the film a cowboy, mounted on a white horse, and an Indian, mounted on a black horse, begin to race each other across the plain. The first Polack turns to his friend and says, “I’ll bet you fifty dollars that the black horse gets to the river before the white horse.” “Okay, you’re on!” exclaims the second Polack.
A few seconds later, the white horse and his rider splash into the river ten lengths ahead of the black horse. “Listen,” said the second Polack after a pause, “I can’t take your money. I have seen this movie before and I knew that the white horse would win.”
“Ah!” said the first Polack. “I have seen it twice before… but that black horse got off to such a good start THIS time! ”
