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 you gonna to 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 $998.00."Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"Kenny: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars."
