[AT] Donkey Sale

[H. L. Staples]

This has been around before, still brings a chuckle. 



Young Chuck, 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.' 

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 him? 

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 a piece
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 grew up and works for the government
