The fool. He could’ve placed a bet that his horse could talk!
Why would a horse use base 10? To avoid being shipped to the glue factory after causing his owner to lose a $50 bet.

Just today there was an article in the paper about horses having five toes.
And the house shouldn’t have said “ten” (cuz that’s 10 in base 10) but “one-zero” since that’s 10 in base 2.
All your base are belong to Mr. Ed.
