A bookie was walking the grand national course when at the water jump he sees a little girl with a rod and a float in the water. "You'll never catch anything in there" he said. Girl asks "what odds will you give me ?" Bookie "20 to 1" Girl "Okay . . . . here is £1" The bookie takes the money and as he is walking away the girl calls him back. He turns to see a flat fish on the hook. "Fair enough, here you go." as he hands over £6. Girl, "I should get £20 plus my original £1 back, though." Bookie "Sorry, but you only get a quarter of the odds for a plaice."
