How things work in the world...

Young Greg moved to Texas and 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 died.' Greg replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'

The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.'

Greg said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked,
'What ya gonna do with him? Greg said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The
farmer said You can't raffle off a dead donkey!' Greg said, 'Sure I can, Watch
me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'

A month later, the farmer met up with Greg and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?'

Greg said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a
piece and made a profit of $998.' The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain that the donkey was dead?'
Greg said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'
