As Recommended by Grandmère Mimi of The Wounded Bird Blog
Aha! I knew it. Sounds right to me!
Little Johnnie in Montana bought a horse from a farmer for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day.
The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died.'
-------------------
Johnnie replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already'
Johnnie said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.'
------------
The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him?
Johnnie said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
The farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead horse!'
Johnnie said, 'Sure I can, Watch me. I just won't tell any body he's dead.'
------------------
A month later, the farmer met up with Johnnie and asked,
'What happened with that dead horse?'
Johnnie said, 'I raffled him off.
I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898..'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'
Johnnie said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'
-------------------------------
Johnnie grew up and works now for the government.
He was the one who figured out how to "bail us out".
