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. I’ll give you your hundred dollars back.”
Kenny replied, “I don’t want the money back. I want the donkey.”
The farmer asked, “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 Kenny. “What happened with that dead donkey?”
“I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.”
“Didn’t anyone complain?”
“Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.”
Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.
