Donkey for Sale

A city boy, young Kenny, moved to the country 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 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 $998.00."
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
the chairman of Enron.
