Two Bedouin twin brothers were each given a horse for their birthday. The boys loved their horses, but were forever arguing about which horse belonged to which boy.
Eventually they decided to seek the advice of a wise old man so that they could tell which horse was which.
After much deliberation, the wise old man called the boys back to him and said "Why don't you tie a red ribbon around the neck of the grey and leave the bay with no ribbon."
The boys went away happy.

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses.
He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed.
The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services.
He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?"
The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard.
Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?"
This woman rushes to see her doctor, looking very much worried and all strung out.
She rattles off: "Doctor, take a look at me. When I woke up this morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair all wiry and frazzled up, my skin was all wrinkled and pasty, my eyes were bloodshot and bugging out and I had this corpse-like look on my face! What's WRONG with me, Doctor!?"
