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: "Well then, just give me my money back."
Farmer: "Can't do that. I spent it already."
Kenny: " OK , then at least give me the donkey."
Farmer: " What ya gonna do with a dead donkey?"
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's dead." A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened with the dead donkey?
Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2 a piece and made a profit of $898."
Farmer: " Didn't anyone complain?"
Kenny: "Just the guy who won."
Farmer: "What did you do?"
Kenny: " I gave him his $2 back."
Kenny grew up and eventually became the Chairman of Enron.
