There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money.\n \nJust before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me.  I want to take my money to the afterlife with me."\n \nAnd so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he died she would put all of the money in the casket with him.\n \nWell, he died.\n \nHe was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her.\n \nWhen they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!"\n \nShe had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the casket.\n \nThen the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away.\n \nSo her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband."\n \nThe loyal wife replied "Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't go back on my word.  I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him."\n \n"You mean to tell me you put all that money in the casket with him!!!!?"\n \n"I sure did," said the wife.  "I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a check.  If he can cash it, he can spend it."

As the cowboy said when the  horse he was riding \nalmost stepped on the magic snake, ( who in reality was a genie). The snake granted him one wish for not killing him. The cowboy said " I want to be hung like this here horse i'm a riding". afterward he realized he was riding the mare that day.

It's part of a song I think Tom T. Hall sang years ago.  It probably means what you think it means. Isn't this the ideal for a man?  For me, I prefer a slow horse, my slightly older man, iced tea and more money too! LOL  (I am a granny, ya know)

1. He appears to be asking the man if he needs someone to look after his horses. He is suggesting that he would like to do take this job as he is keen to get back into training horses which is what he has done before.\n\n2. Yes. He is saying that he would be willing to accept less money than normal to do the job.\n\n3. Beat a dead horse (actually the real expression is - Flog a dead horse) is an expression which means to do something which has no point because it is already settled. For example, if a child asked his mother for something and she said NO and would not change her mind, then to keep asking can be described as  - Beating (Flogging) a dead horse. In your example it possibly is referring to the pointlessness of asking for work when none is on offer. But it is also meant to be funny in this case because the subject is actually about horses :-)\n\nThe expression probably comes from the pointlessness of beating a horse (to make it work harder) if it is dead!!

Oh, I do!  I love horses of all kinds & I just wonder what they're chatting about there at the fence.  They look like they've got a secret of two.  Thanks for that.  ☺

I don't think there was any conspiracy  at the Preakness but those gates can be tampered with and I know of a particular incident at a lower class track many years ago.\n\nIt takes a person with a very well trained eye to even notice it but my uncle had a fellow  racetracker with a very keen eye that said he saw the gate of the winner open a split second before the other horses gates opened and that horse won as he was supposed to in a 5 furlong sprint.\nMy uncles horse(the favorite who had won 5 in a row) finished 2nd.\nAnother trainers horse with his own travelling jockey who always rode for him was knocked around by others after they couldn't buy him off like they had tried to.He finished 4th but everyone else heard about the bribe that time.\n\nThe guy with the keen eye could look at a race and tell you almost exactly what had happend and how every horse in the race had performed.\nMy uncle used to ask him to watch his races for him in case he didn't see everthing himself.\n\nBack to the gate.\n\nThey use strong magnets to keep them closed and the starter releases the current when he starts the race.\n\nYou can place a very thin piece of paper between these magnets on any particular gate and when the current is released that gate can open a split second faster than the others.It can't be blatantly obvious or everyone would see it and it would make more of a difference in a short race.\n\nThis would require some advance practice with the gate and the starter but that can and has been done in the morning.\nI am not an expert in exactly how they do this but I was around enough to hear a lot of things.\nI can still remember the names of the key horses and the crook who rode my uncles horse and the guy with the keen eye.\nThey are all dead now but they were exciting times when I was young.\n\nI don't think the magnet trick is a common occurence but I do know that there are many crooked things that happen at All levels of racing but it is more common at the smaller tracks.\n\nA horse can break through the gate and it is fairly commom.

Only a guess, but perhaps he is saying this for those who do not believe he is the Son. If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed. Well and good, but if you do not believe that he is not the son of God, then he is saying the real son is out there somewhere. HE can set you free. It is a matter of faith.

Patz, your questions sometime seem to provoke the braggadocious side of me. lol.. And though I'm sure it may seem shocking to you, I really try to not go there. But my story holds a warm spot in my heart, so here it is:\n\n The other day two strangers stopped by my place to inquire about buying some hay. \n\n The youngest stranger walked down to look at my horses with me, and started telling me the sad story of the hardships his life had been in lately and as though there was a need to just unload the burdens. He talked endlessly about it. I listened deep to what he was saying, putting myself in his shoes and the whole story sadden me. When he'd finished speaking, I knew our paths had crossed for a reason, because for the moment I could help his situation! \n  I turned and walked back up the path where an older stranger who had came with the young one, was speaking to my husband. They stop talking and spoke to me as I appproached them. I spoke then commented to the man speaking to my husband, if he knew anyone interested in some part time work? He quickly answered, "Yes Mam, I am. I recently lost my job, and it's been tough on my family. I'm willing to do anything for a few dollars." I told him, "I'm sure grateful you came along. Can you start work tomorrow?" He said with a smile, "Gladly." Then I inquired about the young man with him, and him taking a 'fancy to a filly I had' and ask if he had a place to keep her? The older guy told me, 'yeah, but the young guy couldn't afford to buy her right now? I told him, I like to do a little 'horse trading' and bout that time the young stranger walked up. I squatted down and looked at the young stranger and ask him,\n"What you got there in your pocket, Mister?" He pulled out  25 cents and two 'hotwheels' cars. And showed them to me. I told him, "Heck Cowboy, that's just what I've been wanting for that horse you like! You want to trade?" The older guy, his father started smiling and trying to tell me, "if you let me work her off, I'll pay you. You ain't gotta do that!" I told him, "We're 'horse trading', and I set my price! You want to deal?" The six year old, blue eyed, redheaded stranger screamed, "Deal!" So we loaded the pony on my trailer and the little stranger rode with me, while I followed his dad and delivered the pony to their house. \n I spent about 2 hours there talking to his parents and watching him play with the pony. \n I even visited where he'd placed the flowers where his old pony was buried.\n\n When I went to leave he told me, "I sure am glad I met you and that you been wanting some 'hotwheels'! Can I tell my friends that you're my 'bestfriend' too?" I told him, "I'd be honored to be his bestfriend too. And that's what I was going to tell my friends, you're my new bestfriend too!" Then the young boys mother hugged me and said, "You are too kind and May God Bless you!" I smiled, looked at the boy and told her, "God already did!" Then showed her the two 'hotwheels' and said, "And I got two 'hotwheels' and a Quarter, to boot!"\n\n\n\n Now, you made me brag! lol.. 'I got a new bestfriend! But that's something that's priceless!' \n\n Hope you have a Good Day!

The wiseman told the two sons to get onto each other's camels and race to the end, so whoever got to the finish line first would be the winner because his own camel would be last if he were riding his brother's camel.
