A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought
a donkey from an old farmer for $100. 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, at least give me the donkey."
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna 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 $898."
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.
