The farmer agree to deliver the horse the next day. The next day the farmer drove up to Chuck’s house and said, “Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse 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, “Okay then, just bring me the dead horse.”
The farmer asked, “What are you going to do with a dead horse?”
Chuck said, “I’m going to raffle him off.”
The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead horse!”
“Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anyone he’s dead.”
A month later the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, “What happened with that dead horse?”
Chuck said, “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $5 a piece and made a profit of $2495.”
The farmer said, “Didn’t anyone complain?”
Chuck said, “Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $5 back.”
Chuck grew up, and now works for the government.
