Donkey Auction
How to make a profit from a 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 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 replied,
I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00.”

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...
