A Cajun named Boudreax moved to Texas 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, but I have some bad
news.
The donkey died."
"Well, then, just give me my money back."
"Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
"OK, then. Just unload the donkey."
"What ya gonna do with him?"
"I'm going to raffle him off."
"You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
"Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."
A month later the farmer met up with the Cajun and asked,
"What happened with that dead donkey?"
"I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a
profit of $998."
"Didn't anyone complain?"
"Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."

Zack and His Mule
----------------------------------
Zack and his mule were walking down the road when one of Zack's friends
drove up and offered him a ride to town. Zack got into the truck while
his
mule ran along behind. The mule was right in back of them as they
reached
55, and stayed with them as they sped up to 70.

"I'm worried about your mule," said the driver. "his tongue's hanging
out."

"Which way?" asked Zack.

"Left," his friend said.

"Well, stay in this lane - he's about to pass."
