Title: the donkey Post by: volcano on Wednesday 11 December 2013, 03:11:41 pm Little Johnny moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, ‘Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.’ Johnny replied, ‘Well, then just give me my money back.’ The farmer said, ‘Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.’ Johnny said, ‘OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.’ The farmer asked, ‘What are you going to do with him? Johnny said, ‘I’m going to raffle him off.’ The farmer said ‘You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!’ Johnny said, ‘Sure I can, watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.’ A month later, the farmer met up with Johnny and asked, ‘What happened with the dead donkey?’ Johnny said, ‘I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00.’ The farmer said, ‘Didn’t anyone complain?’ Johnny said, ‘Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back. |
