Kenny's Ass
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 last night ."
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 goanna do with him?"
"I'm going to raffle him off." (Note: To raffle is
to sell a thing by lottery - draw lot to a group of people each
paying the same amount for a ticket)
"You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
"Sure ! I can", Kenny said. "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 that dead donkey?"
"I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars
apiece and made a profit of $898."
The farmer asked "Didn't anyone complain?"
"Just the guy who won," Kenny answered. "So
I gave him back his two dollars."
Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.
