891 - TAWNY

AT horse racing events, you will find several touts giving their opinion on which horse is most likely to win a race. Those that take them at their word go through a whole gamut of emotions from sheer delight to utter despair once the race finishes. Wise race goers put little faith in touts. Most of those attending the races dress up in splendid clothes, but a few people look quite tacky. A man from New York wanted to chat up a young lady who was wearing an eye-catching tabby outfit. He sidled up to her and said: "Would you like a taffy". At first the lady was puzzled by his remark but then she saw the fruit chew offered by the man. "Why, yes please", she said. In the midst of their conversation she broke off and said "I'm fascinated by your suit. What colour is it?" "It's a tawny color", he replied. They continued their conversation for a while and then parted.
