Here in SE Texas 'Enron area', the country-folk don't speak such
perfect English, so I took it upon myself to re-write this Kenny/Donkey
story.
<------>
A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old
farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next
day. The next day the farmer drove up and said,
"Boy, I said Son, I gut sum bad news fur-ya! Dat dang donkey upin
died."
Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Caint do dat, dun spin'it, but I'ma'gonna pay ya
back."
Kenny said, "OK then, just unload the donkey."
The farmer asked, "Whatcha gonna do wit'im, boy?"
Kenny said, "I'm going to raffle him off."
Farmer, "Ya caint do anytang witta dead donkey, boy!"
Kenny, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked,
"Boy, I said Son! What happened wit'dat dead donkey?"
Kenny, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece
and
made a profit of $898.00."
Farmer, "Ha-be, ya be levin town soon? Sum-deem o'boys prob'blee
like-ta keel ya."
Kenny, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.
