Kenny and the Farmer
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 gonna do with him?"
Kenny said, "I'm going to raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Kenny said, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked "What happened with that dead donkey?"
Kenny said, "I raffled him off. Sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998.00."
The farmer asked, "Didn't anyone complain?!?"
And Kenny said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars." Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.
