A broker bought a horse from
an old farmer named Ben in texas for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the
horse the next day.

The next day, Ben drove up and said, "Sorry, but I have some bad news.
The horse died."
"Well, then, just give me the money back," said the broker
"Can't do that. I went and spent it already." Replied Ben
"OK, then. Just unload the horse," said the broker.
"What ya going to do with him?" asked Ben.
"I'm going to raffle him off," said the broker.
"You can't raffle off a dead horse!" uttered Ben.
"Sure can. Watch me. I just won't tell that he's dead," said the broker.
A month later Ben met up with the broker and asked, "What happened
with that dead horse?"
"I raffled him off, I did. I sold 500-hunderd tickets at two dollars apiece
and made a profit of $898," said the broker.
"Didn't anyone complain?" inquired Ben.
"Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back,” said the broker
