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."
Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of
Enron Power USA!!!!!
