SETTLED!!
(Submitted by Tony Andrews, Dothan, AL)
A farmer passed away and left 17 mules to
his three sons.
The instructions left in the will said that
the oldest boy was to get one half, the second eldest one third, and the youngest one ninth.
The three sons, recognizing the difficulty
of dividing 17 mules into these fractions, began to argue.
Their Uncle heard about the argument, hitched
up his mule, and drove out to settle the matter. He added his mule to the 17, making 18. The eldest son therefore
got one half(or nine), the second got one third(or six), and the youngest got one ninth(or two).
Adding up 9, 6, and 2 = 17
The Uncle, having settled the argument, hitched
up his mule and drove home.

*HORSE TRIVIA*
The oldest horse on record is "Old Billy".
Foaled in 1760, he dies at age 62 in 1822.
He was a draft cross bred in Woolston, Britian.
The maximum load for a Pony Express rider was
25 pounds.
The Butterfield Line (Overland Mail) used coaches
and carried up to nine passengers and 600 pounds of mail.
"During the 400 year Turkish occupation of
Greece (1453-1821), only the Sultan's Imperial Cavalry were allowed to ride horses. The important place the horse had
held in Greek culture was lost during this time."
"In 1872, Leland Stanford (1824-1893) made a bet that
at one point in the gallop, all four legs of the horse are off the ground at the same time. He was proved right when
Eadweard Maybridge (1830-1904), using a series of 24 cameras, photographed a racehorse called Sallie Gardner."
