Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100. 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.?
Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.? The farmer then said, ?Can't do that. I went and spent it already. Chuck added, ?Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.? The farmer then asked, ?What ya gonna do with him?? Chuck replied, ?I'm going to raffle him off.? The farmer stated, ?You can't raffle off a dead donkey!? Chuck countered, ?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 donkey?? Chuck said, ?I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998 while recovering my initial investment of $100.?
The farmer asked, ?Didn't anyone complain?? Chuck replied, ?Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.?
Chuck went on to work for Goldman Sachs and helped destroy the U.S. and World financial systems.
