Young Steve moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for
$100.00.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some
bad
news, the donkey died.'
Steve replied, 'Well, then just give me my money
back.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it
already.'
Steve said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'
The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him?
Steve said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
The farmer said 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!'
Steve said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell
anybody he's dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with Steve and asked,
'What happened
with that dead donkey?'
Steve said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two
dollars
apiece and made a profit of $898.00.'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'
Steve said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two
dollars back.'
Steve now works for Citigroup.
