A man walks into a bar and sees a sign that reads, "Free drinks for a year to the person who can make our horse laugh." The man, eager to win free drinks, asks the bartender what he needs to do.
The bartender explains that the horse has never laughed before, so it would be quite a challenge. The man accepts the challenge and goes to the horse's stall. He whispers something in the horse's ear and suddenly, the horse starts laughing hysterically.
The bartender is amazed and asks the man what he said to make the horse laugh. The man replies, "I just told him that my paycheck is bigger than yours."
The bartender is impressed and keeps his end of the deal, giving the man free drinks for a year. The man is overjoyed and enjoys his free drinks every night.
A year goes by and the man walks back into the bar, now known as the "Horse Whisperer." The bartender congratulates him on his accomplishment and asks if he can make the horse laugh again.
The man thinks for a moment and then leans in to whisper something in the horse's ear. But this time, the horse doesn't laugh. The man tries again and again, but the horse remains silent.
The bartender asks what the man said to the horse, and the man replies, "I told him I lied about my paycheck being bigger than yours."
