A guy was driving on a country road when his car broke down. He tinkered under the bonnet for a while but couldn't work out the problem.

"I think it's the carburettor," said a voice behind him. The guy spun around and could only see a white horse in a paddock. 

"Undo the petrol lead to the carby and clean through," said the horse. 

The guy was totally dumbfounded but did what the horse told him and managed to get the car going. 

He thanked the horse and raced into town, stopping at a service station and grabbing the attendant said: "You won't believe what just happened to me. I was just out of town when my car had carburettor trouble and broke down. Then this horse told me how to fix it."

"Was it a white horse?" asked the attendant. 

"Well. er, yes it was." 

"Mate, it's your lucky day because there's usually a black horse in the paddock and it knows nothing at all about carburettors."
