Raffle
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."
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."
Farmer, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" Kenny, "Sure I can.
Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is
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 his two dollars back."
Kenny grew up and eventually became chairman of Enron.
