Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

The next day he 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 said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.' Chuck said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'

The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him? Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'

The farmer said 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!' Chuck said, '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 $898.00.'

The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'

Chuck now works for Goldman Sachs.

Re: The Banking problem simply explained

I knew a guy that sold a donkey one time. He died though. Sad story. its terrible to raffle off dead animals. Ive only done it a couple of times. Then i heard of the guy that died from raffeling off his dead donkey. When he died we raffled him off. You get more money from raffeling off a man than a animal. It was ok though cause we did it 50/50 so the half of the money went to the animal humaine society.
