A city boy named Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an

old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey to him the

next day. But the next day, the farmer drove up in his old truck and

told Kenny, "Sorry, son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.

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 bring me the donkey." The farmer asked, "What

ya gonna do with a dead donkey?" Kenny, "I'm going to raffle him off."

The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" Kenny said, "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, "So, what happened

with the dead donkey?" Kenny said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500

tickets at $2 a piece and made a profit of $898.00." The farmer said,

"Didn't anyone complain?" Kenny replied, "Just the guy who won, so I

gave him his $2 back."

Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.

Yeah, the saying goes..you can't beat a dead horse, but now you certainly can "bid" a dead donkey. Pardon my pun

The moral of the story is, any smart jackass can become a chairman.
