A hairy situation

The two desperadoes

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?

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!
