Freddy bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.00.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. But when the farmer drove up the next day he said, “I’m sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey died.”
Freddy replied, “Well, then, just give me my money back.”
The farmer said, “I can’t do that. I already went out and spent it.”
Freddy said, “Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.”
The farmer asked, “What are you going to do with him?”
Freddy, “I’m going to raffle him off.”
The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!”
Freddy said, “Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he is dead.”
A month later, the farmer met up with Freddy and asked, “What happened with that dead donkey?”
Freddy said, “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998.00.”
The farmer said, “Didn’t anyone complain?”
Freddy said, “Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.”
Smart lad…..

Why don’t I ever think of stuff like this?
There is another tale about a guy that was going to be out of town for an extended period of time, and he was so cheap that he didn’t want to pay for parking for a month, so he let the bank repo his car and they put it in their storage lot. When he got back, he paid his payment and got his car back, without having to pay any parking fees. Yeah, like all that is going to happen and the bank wouldn’t catch on? Like I said, it is a “tale”.
It’s a plan…
