OT - Here's a good plan for raffling off our dead stock. This is how it works.
JOHN AND THE DONKEY
John moved to Texas where he decided to buy a donkey from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
When the farmer came by with an empty horse trailer the next day, John asked, "Where's my donkey?"
The farmer said, "I couldn't deliver the donkey because he died."
John asked for his money back. The farmer said he couldn't refund the money because he had already spent it.
"Then bring me the dead donkey!" demanded John.
The farmer asked, "What are you going to do with a dead donkey?"
John replied, "You'll see. I'm going to raffle him off."
The farmer was aghast. "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
"Just watch me." said John
Shaking his head, the farmer turned around and drove off, returning a little later with the dead donkey.
About a month went by and the farmer happened to see John at a coffee shop in town. The farmer sheepishly inquired, "What did you ever do with that dead donkey?"
"Oh, I raffled him off like I said I would" smiled John. "I sold raffle tickets at $2.00 each and made a profit of $998.00!"
The farmer was amazed. "Did anyone complain about the donkey being dead?" he asked.
"Only the guy that bought it", replied John. "So I gave him his money back."
Now John works for the government.
