Kenny's Profitable Dead Donkey |
Kenny's Profitable Dead Donkey A 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 said, "OK then, just unload the donkey." The farmer asked, "What ya goanna do with him?" Kenny: "I'm going to raffle him off." Farmer: " 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: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998.00." Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?" Kenny: " Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back." Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron. |
