Joke: Rodney and the donkey

Someone at work sent this to me. Have a good laugh. :)

THE TALE OF RODNEY AND THE DONKEY

A city boy, Rodney, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died."
Rodney replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." Rodney said, "OK then, at least give me the donkey."

The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"
Rodney, "I'm going to raffle him off."
Farmer, " You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Rodney, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Rodney and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?" Rodney, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998."
Farmer, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Rodney, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."

Rodney grew up and eventually became the chairman of HIH, FAI and OneTel.

I think I bought a ticket in that raffle.

He probably also took out a Life Assurance policy through HIH on Mr Don Key and claimed on that as well.
