Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.
  
 The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.  
  
 The next day the farmer drove up and said, 'Sorry Chuck, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.'
  
 Chuck  replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'  
  
 The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.'  
  
 Chuck  said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'  
  
 The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with a dead donkey?  
  
 Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'  
  
 The farmer said 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!'  
  
 Chuck said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'
  
 A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?'  
 
 Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00.'  
  
 The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'  
  
 Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'
  
 Chuck now works for Morgan Stanley
