A police station gets two new horses and two cops are assigned to be mounted policemen.
They go on a ride and come back pleased.
“This horse is great! From now on I’ll always take this one” said the first cop.
“My horse’s great too. So I’ll always take it” replied the second cop.
“But how do we know which is which?”
They thought for a minute or two and one of them came up with an idea.
“Lets cut off this one’s tail”
The other cop agreed and the horse lost its tail.
The next morning The police chief is standing in front of the horses and looks really mad.
The two cops see this and ask what’s wrong.
“You two morons cut off the horse’s tail, that’s what’s wrong!”
“But otherwise we couldn’t tell them apart. “
“Can’t you see that the black one is a bit taller than the brown one?!”
