A hairy situation

Uncle Jack was going bald. One day, Mary, who was not known for her politeness, remarked to him, "I don't suppose that there is anyone in the world who has as few hairs as you do!" "Don't be silly!" said her brother Gary. "The less hair you have, the more likely it is that someone else has the same number. If you were completely bald, you would have the same number of hairs on you head as millions of other completely bald people. But I bet there isn't anyone with the same number of hair on their head as I have," and he shook his thick hair from side to side. "On the contrary," said uncle Jack. "It is quite certain that there are many people in the world with the same number of hairs on their heads as you have!" "You can't know that" said Gary, "because you haven't counted the enomous number on my head!" Unce Jack smiled Why was uncle Jack so confident?

The two desperadoes

Jake was grinning because he had switched the white ball for another black one, so Guts was bound to draw a black ball and die. But if the boss agreed to Jake showing the second ball – which was bound to be black - Jake would be in trouble as his trick was discovered!
