Young Dan, the village idiot, bought a donkey from farmer Giles for £100,
but the very next day the donkey died.
So he went to see farmer Giles and asked for his money back.
Farmer Giles said, "I can't do that as I've already spent it."
Dan said, "OK, then what I'll do is raffle him off."'
Farmer Giles said, "You can't raffle a dead donkey!"
Dan said, "Sure I can. Watch me, I just won't tell anybody he's dead."
A month later, farmer Giles met up with Dan and asked,
" What happened with that dead donkey?"
Dan said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at £2 each and made a profit of £898"
Farmer Giles asked, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Dan replied, "Just the guy who won, so I gave him his £2 back."
