A Cajun named Boudreaux moved to Texas and bought a donkey for $100 from an old farmer who agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day, the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, Boudreaux, but I have some bad news. Thet donkey up and died last night."
"We-e-e-e-ll, dat stoff she happen', so you jus' gimmee my money back."
"Can't do that. I done gone and spent it already."
"Okay, den, no problem. You jus' unload de donkey."
"What ya gonna do with him?"
"I'm going to raffle him off."
"You cain't raffle off a dead donkey!"
"Ay, sure I can. You jus' watch ahn learn. I jus' won' tell nobody he dead!"
A month later the farmer met up with Boudreaux and asked, "So, what happened with that dead donkey?"
"I raffle him off. I sell 500 tickets at two dollar a piece and make a profit of $998."
"Didn't anyone complain?"
"Jus' de guy who win. So, I give him his two dollar back!"
