A punter, who had just lost all his wages on the horses, stepped out of the racecourse into the pouring rain.

As he did, the sole of his shoe peeled back and began flapping about.

Just then, a bookie, who was packing up his car, noticed the man's misery.

"What's up, lad?" he asked taking a puff on his large cigar.

"Well," said the punter, "I've been at the races all day, lost my wages, and now the soles peeled off my shoe and I have to walk home in the pouring rain".


"Don't worry, lad" said the sympathetic bookie.


With a flourish, he pulled a large roll of banknotes from his trouser pocket and peeling off the rubber band

gave it to the man. "Here, put that round your shoe!"

:smile:
