A truck driver moved to Texas and bought a donkey from an old farmer
for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The
next day the farmer drove up and said, Sorry, but I have some bad
news. The donkey died.
Well, then, just give me my money back.
Cant do that. I went and spent it already.
OK, then. Just unload the donkey.
What ya gonna do with him?
Im going to raffle him off.
You cant raffle off a dead donkey!
Sure I can. Watch me. I just wont tell anybody hes dead.
A month later the farmer met up with the truck driver and asked, What
happened with that dead donkey?
I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and I
made a profit of $898.
Didnt anyone complain?
Sure, but just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars.
