A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought 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 replied, "I'm going to raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Kenny said confidently, "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 said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00."
The farmer asked, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Kenny said, " Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
Kenny replied, "Well, then, just give me my money back."
