Joshua Farrell
FP's Housekeeper
Lester 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, 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."
"Okay 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 Lester 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."
