Told You So

A cowboy who lost his horse to a snakebite walks across the desert for miles carrying his saddle. He comes upon an old man living in a small hut. In a corral next door is an old, sway-backed horse.

"Would you sell me that old nag, mister?" the cowboy asks.

The old man says, "Well, cowboy, he don't look so good."

"Please sell him to me," the cowboy says. "I'm tired of carrying this saddle."

The old man finally agrees, the two decide on a price, and the cowboy saddles up and climbs on to the animal. The old horse takes off like a shot, directly into the side of the hut.

The cowboy gets up from the ground and exclaims, "That thing is blind!"

The old man says, "I told you, fella. He don't look so good."
