Morris, a city boy moved to the country and bought a donkey from

an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the mule 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."

 

"Can't do that. I went and spent it already."

 

"OK, then. Just unload the donkey."

 

"What ya gonna do with him?"

 

"I'm going to raffle him off."

 

"You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

 

"Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."

 

A month later the farmer met up with the city boy and asked,

 

"Whatever happened with that dead donkey?"

 

"I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and

made a profit of $998. "

 

"Didn't anyone complain?"

 

"Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
