A Greek named George, moved to the Mid West after getting off the boat and bought himself a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day the farmer drove up to George and said, "I'm sorry, but I have some bad news......the donkey died just last night."
"Well then, just give me back my money you kopriti." said George
"I can't do that Sir, I've just spent it." . "OK then, just unload the donkey."
"What are you going to do with him ?" asked the farmer. "I'm going to raffle him off."
"You can't raffle off a dead donkey, you crazy Greek!" "Well that's where you're wrong. You watch and you learn how we Greeks are so smart !"
A month later the farmer met up with the Greek and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?" "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars each and made $898."
"Didn't anyone complain ?" asked the farmer. "Just the guy who won.So I gave him his two dollars back!"
