Donkey Raffle

A Cajun named Jean Paul moved to Texas and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100.00.  The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
 
The following day the farmer rove up and said, "Sorry, but I got some bad news. The donkey died."
 
"Well then, just give me my money back."
 
"Cain't do that. I went and spent it already."
 
"OK then, just unload the donkey."
 
"What ya gonna do with em."
 
"I'm gonna raffle him off."
 
"Ya cain't raffle off a dead donkey!"
 
"Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anyone he's dead."
 
A month later the farmer met up with the Cajun and asked, "What happened with the dead donkey?"
 
"I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2.00 apiece and made a profit of $898.00."
"Didn't no one complain?"
 
"Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2.00 back."

Hey, maybe there's a lesson in Marketing here... but probably not.
