Martin Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnoorsapl Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 The moral of the story is, any smart jackass can become a chairman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
