Never Trust a
Hoss Trader
Jean Larouix from Lewiston run
an ad in the Lewiston Daily Sun. He wanted to sell his old
horse. Jean was well into his 80s and had migrated down to
Lewiston many years ago from Canada.
He placed his ad in the “for
sale - livestock” section. The add read something like this”
“For Sale. One faithful old
horse. She no look too good though”
The next day he got a phone
call from someone interested. After talking for a short bit on
the phone, the caller showed up at Jean’s house to see the
horse.
“That horse looks good enough
to me,” he said. “How much you want for her?”
“I’ll take $100.00. No less,”
said Jean.
The man paid Jean, loaded the
horse into the trailer and headed on home. The next morning Jean
got a phone call from the new horses owner.
“Geez um crow!” the man yelled.
“You didn’t tell me the horse was blind!”
“It said right in the
newspaper,” Jean exclaimed. “I show you!”
Jean went inside and emerged
shortly with a copy of the ad, “Right here! I say “She no look
too good.”
