A city boy, John, moved to the Ozarks and bought a
donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed
to deliver the mule the next day. The next day, the
farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, but I have some bad
news, the donkey died." "Well, then, just give me my
money back." "Can't do that. I went and spent it
already." "OK, then, just unload the donkey." "What ya
gonna 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's dead." A
month later the farmer met up with the city boy and
asked, "Hey John, what happened with that dead
donkey?" "I raffled him off. I sold five hundred
tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of
$898.00" "Didn't anyone complain?" "Just the guy who
won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
God, I love living in Arkansas.
