The bail out
Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2009 7:11 pm
Young Chuck bought a horse from a farmer for $100. The farmer
agreed to deliver the horse the next day.
The next morning, the farmer had bad news. 'Sorry son, 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 are you going 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 can. I just won't tell anybody 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 $2 apiece. Made a profit of $998.'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'
Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'
Chuck grew up and works now for the government, he was the one who figured out the bail out plan.
