legion, do understand, keep up the good work!

On the subject of bookies:

After the last race a young lad who stuttered slightly approached a bookmaker
who had a winning day.

"Excuse me, I bbbacked a fivett..."
The bookie, as quick as a flash replied "there was no fivetoone winners, mate, take a hike!"

The young lad persisted. "I bbbacked a fivett."
"Look," said the bookie, "I told you before, there were no fivetoone winners today, so scram!"

The young lad stood there for a while, and then once again spoke to the bookie - "I bbbacked a fivett."

The bookie interjected "What the heck, you're not going to leave me alone, I've had a good day. Here's a fiftynote. Now nick off!"

The young lad shrugged his shoulders with resignation, accepted the note,
walked over to his mate and said. "That bookie's a nice bloke. I tried to
tell him I backed a fiveton truck into his Rolls Royce, and he gave me fifty dollars."
