~Donkey for Sale: ~ (Plus: today in history, word for the day, todays horoscope, Maxine and Herman)

  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?"
"I'm going to raffle him off."
"You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
"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."
  "Didn't anyone complain?" Asked the farmer.

  "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.
