A young man named Chuck 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 Chucks house and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse 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 horse."

The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"

Chuck said, "I'm going to raffle him off."

The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead horse!"

Chuck said, "Sure I can, Watch me. I just won't tell any body he's dead."

A month Later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, "What happened with that dead horse?"

Chuck said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at five dollars a piece and made a profit of $2495."

The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?"

Chuck said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his five dollars back."

Tritorch, you inspired me to find my copy of the late T.H. Pearce's book, How to Sell a Dead Mule. Mr. Pearce was a noted historian from Franklin County, NC. The story involves a mule which had seen its best days. Its owner, George, was trying to sell the mule. Hector offered him $3, but George insisted he must get $5 for the mule and Hector left disappointed. The next day, George found that his mule had died overnight. He found Hector and said that he had reconsidered and would take $3 for the mule, but Hector would have to remove him from the stable. Hector paid the $3, only to learn that he had bought a dead mule. Apparently Hector did his part and removed the dead mule from the stable, stating that he would probably done the same thing to George if he'd had the chance.

Anne, for some reason this mule story brings 'Delaney's Donkey' to mind:

https://youtu.be/bjrwftI31gc

The muscles of the mighty never known to flinch

They couldn't move the donkey a quarter of an inch

Delaney lay exhausted hanging 'round his throat

With a grip just like a Scotchman on a five pound note

That dead horse tale is Sam Clemens-grade material.
