A Young Man Named Joe Bought A Horse

A young man named Joe bought a horse from a farmer for

£250. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse within the

next few days. A couple of days later, the farmer drove up

to Joe’s house and said, “Sorry son, but I have some bad

news, the horse died.” Joe replied, “Well, then just

give me my money back.” The farmer said, “Can’t do

that. I’ve spent it already.” Joe said, “Ok, then,

just bring me the dead horse.” The farmer asked, “What

ya gonna do with it?” Joe said, “I’m going to raffle

him off.” The farmer said, “You can’t flog a dead

horse!” Joe said, “Sure I can, Watch me. I just won’t

tell anybody he’s dead.” A month Later, the farmer met

up with Joe and asked, “What happened with that dead

horse?” Joe said, “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets

at £5 a piece and made a profit of £2495.” The farmer

said, “Didn’t anyone complain?” Joe said, “Just the

guy who won. So I gave him his £5 back
