A middle-aged Irishman takes his two young sons to the circus. Outside of the bigtop is a sideshow featuring several booths. The Irishman notices a crowd around one booth in which an Englishman is standing next to a horse and shouting "Ladies and Gentleman! I have here the world's smartest horse. This horse will guess your age for only $1."

Suspicious of the Englishman's claim, the Irishman hands his youngest son a dollar and sends him into the booth. The boy hands the dollar to the Englishman and stands in front of the horse. The horse looks the boy over for a minute and then taps his hoof on the ground four times. The little boy says, "That's right. I'm four years old."

Unimpressed, the Irishman hands his older son a dollar and sends him into the booth. The boy gives the dollar to the Englishman and stands in front of the horse. The horse looks at the boy for a minute and then taps his hoof on the ground seven times. The little boy says, "That's right. I'm seven years old."

Still not convinced, the Irishman himself walks into the booth, hands the Englishman a dollar and stands in front of the horse. The horse studies the Irishman for several minutes. Finally, the horse raises its tail, breaks wind, then taps its hoof on the ground twice.

The crowd begins to boo and yells to the Irishman to ask for his money back. The Irishman raises his hand and says, "No, I can't do that. The horse is right. I'm farty-two."
