Jean Paul, a Cajun, moved to Texas and bought a donkey from an old famer for $100. 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.”
“Can’t do that, I went and spent it already.”
“OK then, just unload the donkey.”
“What are you gonna do with him?”
“I’m gonna raffle him off.”
“You can’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 a piece and made a profit of $898.”
“Didn’t anyone complain?”

“Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2 back.

He should have a profit of $998 Since he sold 500 tickets for $2 a piece. Then gave $2 back.

That Cajun is short 100 bucks.

He should have a profit of $989 Since he sold 500 tickets for $2 a piece. Then gave $2 back.

That Cajun is short 100 bucks.

DOH!!!! $998 not $989!!!!!


Good grief! :roll:

Dang !!! I did it wrong too.. At least I caught my own mistake.

Now I will edit my other post.

I think the extra 100 is for the original price of the donkey - because he says profit.

2 x 500 = $1000
minus the $2 refund
minus the original $100
