The Dead Horse
.
Young Chuck in Montana bought a horse from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day.
.
The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news... the horse died."
.
Chuck replied, "Well, then just give me my money back."
.
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
.
Chuck said, "Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse."
.
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"
.
Chuck said, "I'm going to raffle him off."
.
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead horse!"
.
Chuck said, "Sure I can, Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."
.
A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, "What happened with that dead horse?"
.
Chuck said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998."
.
The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?"
.
Chuck said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
