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 last night.” Kenny replied: “Well then, just give me my money back.” The farmer said: “Cant do that. I went and spent it already.” Kenny said : “OK then, just unload the donkey.” The farmer asked: “What you goanna to do with him?”

Kenny: “I’m going to raffle him off.” (Note: To raffle is to sell a thing by lottery- draw lot! to a group of people each paying the same amount for a ticket). Farmer: “You cant raffle off a dead donkey!” Kenny: “Sure I can. Watch me. I just wont tell anybody he’s 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: “Didnt anyone complain?” Kenny: “Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollar.” Kenny grew up and eventually became the CEO of the American Energy Company.
