   Can you sell 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 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 gonna do with him?"
   Kenny: "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)
   
   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 that dead donkey?" Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00."
   
   Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"
   Kenny: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars."
   
   Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.
