Mule Trading
Curtis & Leroy saw an ad in the Starkville Daily
News in Starkville, MS. and bought a mule for
$100. The farmer agreed to deliver the mule
the next day.
The next morning the farmer drove up and said,
"Sorry, fellas, I have some bad news, the mule
died last night." Curtis & Leroy replied, Well,
then just give us our money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and
spent it already." They said, "OK then, just
bring us the dead mule."
The farmer asked, "What ya'll gonna do with a
dead mule?" Curtis said, "We gonna raffle him
off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead
mule!" Leroy said, "We shore can! Heck, we
don't hafta tell nobody he's dead!"
A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into
Curtis & Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly grocery
store and asked. "What'd you fellers ever do
with that dead mule?"
They said,"We raffled him off like we said we
wuz gonna do." Leroy said,"Shucks, we sold
500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a
profit of $898."
The farmer said,"My Lord, didn't anyone
complain?" Curtis said, "Well, the feller who
won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars
back."
Curtis and Leroy now work for the government.
They're overseeing the Bailout & Stimulus
Programs.
