"Who do you like in the fifth"

I am not one to gamble and I never bet on horses or things that I can’t control, But I would like to put Twenty thousand dollars on “No Show” in the fifth.

I found my self an old lamp and I rubbed it and a voice said, “NO Show will win in the Fifth”. It took some time at the bank to get the loan on the house, But my husband will be so happy when I come home with a twenty to one bet and I will hand him $400.000 I think I will just set here for a while and enjoy the race. At the and of the day I went to the betting window and handed my ticket the t man behind the window.

He was very polite and ask, what can I do for you Mamm? I said, I am here to collect my winnings on No show in the fifth. Mamm, no show never run in the fifth, he didn’t even show and no one knows where he is. Then give my money back to me, I can’t do that Mamm. You made a bet that he would win, he never showed and he never ran, he left the gate, and stopped half way around the track and was last seen grazing on grass in the center of the track, “ you lost!”

You give me my money or I will come back there and get it, Someone call the police, there is a Bull Dozer back here, wreaking the place.

I received the call from the police station around seven p.m. They ask me to come in and I tried to make an appointment with them, I was told to come right now and they said some-thing else, but I couldn’t make it out, with all that noise.

When I got to the station, the old girl had the day shift and the afternoon shift, all were backed up into one corner and was she mad. So mad that the fire department was standing by with hoses in hand. The mayor, the city attorney, dog catchers where called and there must have been a hundred or more, people hiding along with the police dogs.

Once she was in a cell, she wanted tea and crumpets, They had the tea but had no crumpets. The earth shock and another war was started. A white hunter was called in , he shot a dart at her, got her in the left Butt Cheek and soon she was asleep. Taking advantage of the time, the police put hand cuff on her wrists and short step iron chains around her ankles, then they put her in a stronger cell.

When she awoke, she exploded again and she had bent or broken every iron bar in that cell. Again the great white hunter was called. He got her in her rear once more and while she was sleeping, she was anchored to two old retired police cruisers that were parked inside a tent in a police parking lot.

That evening when they brought her a tray of food, she wouldn’t eat. She had already chewed the tires off of both cruisers

Then a parrot, that was setting on the top of one of the cruisers, kept saying, over and over, “No Show will win in the fifth”, “No show will win in the fifth”, “No show will win in the fifth”

Where the horse is, is unknown , the parrot was sent back to the jungle from which he came and no one has heard where the husband is.

The prisoner has told her attorney and the press, Murder was not out of the question for any of the three.
