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 lots – 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 a piece 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.
PS.
