A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey
from an old farmer for $100.00. 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."
Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it
already."
Kenny said, "OK then, just unload the donkey."
The farmer asked, "What ya goanna do with him?"
Kenny, "I'm going to raffle him off."
Farmer, " You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Kenny, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he
is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What
happened with that dead donkey?"
Kenny, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars
apiece and made a profit of $898.00."
Farmer, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Kenny, " Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars
back."
Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.

OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything.
