Can you sell a dead donkey?

A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old far=
mer 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."=20
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 b=
y 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 t=
hat dead donkey?" Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two doll=
ars 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.
