Confusion HorseS

Samuel Gump bought two horses, and could never
remember which was which.

A neighbor suggested that he cut the tail of one
horse and that worked great until the other horse
got his tail caught in a bush. It tore just right
and looked exactly like the other horse's tail and our
friend was stuck again.

The neighbor suggested Gump notch the ear of one
horse. That worked fine until the other horse caught
his ear on a barbed wire fence.

Once again our friend couldn't tell them apart.
The neighbor suggested he measure the horses for
height. When he did, he was very pleased to find that
the white horse was 2 inches taller than the black.
