A man moved to Texas and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
Come morning, the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, but I got some bad news. The donkey died." "Well then, just give me my money back." "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
"OK then, just unload the donkey." "What ya gonna do with em." "I'm gonna raffle him off." "Ya can't raffle off a dead donkey!" "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anyone he's dead."
A month later the farmer met up with the guy and asked, "What happened with the dead donkey?" "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2.00 a piece and made a profit of $898."
"Didn't no one complain?" "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2.00 back.
