THE RANCHER

Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a
cow from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer
agreed to deliver the cow the next day.
The next day he drove up and said,
’Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the
cow 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
cow.’
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 cow!’
Chuck said, ’Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t
tell anybody she’s dead.’
A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck
and asked, ’What happened with that dead cow?’
Chuck said, ’I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at
two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00.’
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 now works for the government.
