A guy walks into a bar appearing to be very down on himself.

As he walks up to the bar the bartender asks him, "What's the matter?"

The guy replies, "Well I've got these two horses (sniff,sniff), and well...
I can't tell them apart. I don't know if I'm mixing up riding times or
even feeding them the right foods."

The bartender, feeling sorry for the guy, tries to think of something he
can do and suggests: "Why don't you try shaving the tail of one of the
horses?"

The guy stops crying and says, "That sounds like a good idea, I think I'll
try it."

A few months later the guy comes back to the bar in worse condition than
he was before.

"What's the matter now?" the bartender asks.

In no condition to be in public, the guy answers: "I shaved the tail of one
of the horses (sob, sob), but it grew back and I can't tell them apart again!"

The bartender, now just wanting him to shut up or leave says: "Why don't
you try shaving the mane, maybe that will not grow back."

The guy stops crying, has a few drinks, and leaves.

A few months later the guy is back in the bar. The bartender has never
seen anybody in this sorry of a state.

Without the bartender even asking, the guy breaks into his problems: "I.. I
shaved the (sob) mane of one of the (sniff) horses, and... it... it... grew back!"

The bartender, now furious at the guy's general stupidity, yells: "For crying out
loud! Just measure the stupid horses. Perhaps one is slightly taller that the
other one!"

The guy cannot believe what the bartender has said and storms out of the bar.

The very next day the guy comes running back into the bar as if he had just
won the lottery. "It worked, it worked!" he exclaims. "I measured the horses
and the black one is two inches taller than the white one!"
