CITY BOY AND DONKEY

A city boy, Barry, 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."

Barry replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."

The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."

Barry said, "OK then, just unload the donkey."

The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"

Barry: "I'm going to raffle him off."

Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

Barry: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Barry and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?"

Barry: "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?"

Barry: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back." 

Barry grew up and eventually became President of the United States.
