A city boy, 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 last night.”
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 you goanna to do with him?”
Kenny: “I’m going to raffle him off.” (To raffle is to sell a thing by lottery – draw a lot to a group of people each paying the same amount for a ticket). Farmer: “You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!” Kenny: “Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t 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 apiece and made a profit of $ 998.” Farmer: “Didn’t anyone complain?” Kenny: “Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars.”
Kenny grew up and eventually became the CEO of the American Energy Company: Enron.
