Joke

A young man bought a horse from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day.

The next day he drove up and said, "Sorry, but I have some bad news, the horse died."

The man replied, "Well, then just give me my money back."

The farmer said, "Can't do that. I already spent it."

The man says, "Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse."

The farmer asked, "What are you going to do with him?"

The man says, "I'm going to raffle him off."

The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead horse!"

The guy says, "Sure I can, watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."

A month later, the farmer met up with the man again and asked, "What happened with that dead horse?"

The guy says, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998."

The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?"

The guy says, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."

The guy now works for the US government.
