Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for
$100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day the farmer drove up and said, 'Sorry Chuck, but I have
some bad news The donkey died.'
Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.'
Chuck said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'
The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with a dead donkey?
Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
The farmer said 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!'
Chuck said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's
dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What
happened with that dead donkey?'
Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece, less the $100 I gave you
and made a profit of $898.00.'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'
Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars
back.'
Chuck now works for Morgan Stanley.
