Today's Joke, or make the best of a bad situation?

A Cajun named Jean Paul moved to Texas and bought a donkey from an old 
farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

The next day the farmer drove up and said, Sorry, but I got some bad 
news. The donkey died.
Well then, just give me my money back.
Cain't do that. I went and spent it already.
OK then, just unload the donkey.
What ya gonna do with em.
I'm gonna raffle him off.
Ya cain't raffle off a dead donkey!
Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anyone he's dead.
A month later the farmer met up with the Cajun and asked,
What happened with the dead donkey?
I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2.00 apiece and 
made a profit of $898.00.
Didn't no one complain?
Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2.00 back.
