Just Plinkin Away the $$
City boy, Kenny, 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." Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my
money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." Kenny
replied, "OK then, just unload the donkey." The farmer asked, "What
ya gonna do with him?" Kenny, "I'm going to raffle him off."
Farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" Kenny, "Sure I can.
Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened
with that dead donkey?" Kenny replied, "I raffled him off. I sold 500
tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00."Farmer
asked, "Didn't anyone complain?" Kenny responded, "Just the guy who
won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.
