A fellow, stuck in a small rural town overnight, decided to visit the local watering hole and was surprised to see a horse sitting on a stool at the bar with a large bowl full of money sitting in front of it. As the bartender approached to take his order, the young man asked, "What's with the horse and the money?"
"It's a contest we have here," said the barman. "Make the horse laugh and ya win all the money. Costs ya 20 bucks to play."
The man walked over to the horse, tossed a twenty dollar bill into the bowl, then leaned over and whispered something into the horse's ear. The horse burst out laughing and, while brushing tears from its eyes, pushed the bowl of money toward the smiling winner.
A year later, the man found himself in the same town and decided to stop into the bar once again. There sat the same horse with another bowl full of money in front of it.
"Still trying to make the horse laugh?" he asked the bartender.
"Nope," he replied. "Now ya have to make 'im cry. Twenty to play."
The man nodded, downed his beer, then walked over to the horse. He tossed his money into the pot, and again whispered something into the horse's ear. The horse seemed to think for a moment, scratching its head with a hoof, then nodded and stood up to follow the young man outside. They returned a minute later, tears streaming down the poor horse's face. The silence of the room was broken by its heart-breaking sobs of anguish.
As the fellow began to stuff the money into his pockets, the bartender said, "We've bin runnin' that contest fer years and no-one's ever won it before. What in hell did you tell 'im?"
"Well," replied the young man, "last year I told him I had a bigger dick than he had."
"But how did you make 'im cry?"
"Simple. I just took him outside and showed him."
