A visitor was permitted to walk freely through an insane asylum and became interested in observing a man who was moving about slowly. The man's hands were held together as if he were hiding something in them.

"Pardon me, sir," said the visitor, "but I'm interested. What are you hiding in your hands?"

"Try to guess," said the patient.

"A million dollars?"

The man peeked into his hands. "Nope," he said.

"An airplane?"

Another peek. "Nope!"

"A yacht?"

Another peek. "Nope!"

"A horse?"

Another peek, and then a sly look at the visitor. "What color?"
