Flogging a dead horse
#1
A young man named Donald bought a horse from a farmer for $250. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next day, the farmer drove up to Donald's house and said, “ Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died. ”

Donald replied, “ Well, then just give me my money back. ”

The farmer said, “ Can ’ t do that. I went and spent it already. ”

Donald said, “ OK, then, just bring me the dead horse. ”

The farmer asked, “ What ya gonna do with him? ”

Donald said, “ I’m going to raffle him off. ”

The farmer said, “ You can’t raffle off a dead horse! ”

Donald said, “ Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead. ”

A month later, the farmer met up with Donald and asked, “ What happened with that dead horse? ”

Donald said, “ I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at five dollars apiece and made a profit of $2,495. ”

The farmer said, “ Didn’t anyone complain? ”

Donald said, “ Just the guy who won. So I gave him his five dollars back. ”

Donald just moved into the White House.
