I would have done the same thing

[Southernfryedyankee]

A city boy, kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey for $100. 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 gie me my money back."

Farmer: "Cant do that. I went and spent it already.

Kenny: "OK then, just unload the donkey."

Farmer: "What you gonna do with him?"

Kenny: "I'm going to raffle him off."

Farmer: "You cant raffle off a dead donkey!"

Kenny: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just wont tell anyone he's 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 each and made a profit of $898."

Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"

Kenny: "Just the guy who won. So i gave him his two dollars back.

And everybody was happy in the end....................well except the donkey.

not to be nit-picking but 500 x 2 = 1000

$1000 - 2 = 998! not 898

But he had originally paid $100 for the donkey.
