Young man bought a donkey from a farmer for £100.
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's died.'
Young man replied, 'Well then just give me my money back.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.'
Young man said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'
The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?'
Young man said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead donkey!'
Young man said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with the young man and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?'
Young man said, 'I raffled him off.
I sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a profit of £898'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'
Young man said, 'Just the guy who won.
So I gave him his two pounds back.'
Young man now works for the Royal Bank of Scotland
