A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an
old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the
next day. The next day the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry son, but I have some
bad news, the donkey died last night.” Kenny replied: “Well then, just give me my money back.” The farmer said: “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.” Kenny said: “OK then, just unload the donkey..”
The farmer asked: “What ya gonna do with him?”
Kenny: “I’m going to raffle him off.” (Note: To raffle is to sell a
thing by lottery - draw lot - to a group of people each paying the
same amount for a ticket) Farmer: “You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!”
Kenny: “Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.” A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, “What happened
with that dead donkey?” Kenny: “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets
at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00.” Farmer: “Didn’t anyone complain?”
Kenny: “Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars.”
