Sale of a donkey
A city boy, Ken, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old
farmer for $100.00. 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."
Ken replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Ken said, "OK then, just unload the donkey."
The farmer asked, "What ya goanna do with him?"
Ken : "I'm going to raffle him off."
Farmer: " You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Ken : "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Ken and asked, "What happened with
that dead donkey?"
Ken : "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and
made a profit of $898.00."
Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"
Ken : " Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
Ken grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron. |
