The Mule Deal
A man from the city is out plowing his field and gets his tractor stuck in the wet ground.
A farmer driving by stops his truck and walks to the fence to call over the city feller. You need a mule to plow such wet ground he says.
- Where can I buy one? - he is asked.
Well, I just happened to have one for 100 dollars he says.
- I'll take him - says the other man as he counts out the money.
I can't bring him over today. I don't work on Sunday morrow OK?
- Sure.
The next day the truck pulls up and the old farmer gets out. He says:
- sorry, bad news.
I went out after breakfeast and the mule was dead.
The city feller says just give me my money back then.
- Can't, spent it already!
- Well... unload the mule then.
- What ya gonna do with him?
- Raffle him off!
- Naw, ya cant raffle off a dead mule!
- Just watch me us! City fellers know a few tricks.
One month goes by and the city feller and farmer run into each other at the barber shop.
- What did ya do with that dead mule?
- Raffled him off, sold 100 tickets at two dollars each and made 98 dollars profit.
- Didn't anyone complain?
- Just one guy so I gave him his two dollars back!
