What to Do with a Dead Horse


Young Jack, moved to Wagga Wagga and bought a horse from a farmer for $100.00.

The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next day he drove up with no trailer and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The horse died.'

Jack replied, ' That's OK. Then just give me my money back.'

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

Jack said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.'

The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him?

Jack said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'

The farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead horse!'

Jack said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'

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

Jack said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00.'

The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'

Jack said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'

Jack eventually grew up and and now works as a Real Estate agent.
