FUNNY EMAIL MESSAGES

A man bought a donkey from a farmer for $100 and the farmer agreed to deliver the next day. The following day, he drove up and said, "I am sorry son but the donkey is dead. I can't give you your money back because I have spent it." The man said, "OK, just bring me the dead donkey." The farmer asked, "What are you going to do with him?" The man replied, "I will raffle him off." "You can't raffle off a dead donkey." "Sure, I can. I won't tell anyone he's dead."

They met a month later and the farmer asked, "What happened to the dead donkey?" The man said, "I raffled him off at $2 a ticket, I sold 500 tickets and made a profit of $998." The farmer asked, "Didn't anyone complain?" The man replied. "Only the guy who won so I gave him back his $2." The man now works as a consultant to Goldman Sachs.
