Curtis & Leroy saw an ad in the Kentville Advertiser Newspaper in Kentville, N.S. and bought a mule for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day. The next morning the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry fellers, I have some bad news; the mule died last night."
Curtis & Leroy replied, "Well, then just give us our money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead mule." The farmer asked, "What in the world ya'll gonna do with a dead mule?"
Curtis said, "We gonna raffle him off." The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead mule!"
Leroy said, "We shore can! Heck, we don't hafta tell nobody he's dead!"
A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy at the Co-Op grocery store and asked: "What'd you fellers ever do with that dead mule?" They said, "We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do."
Leroy said, "Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898." The farmer said, "My Lord, didn't anyone complain?"
Curtis said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."
Curtis and Leroy now work for the government. They're overseeing Obama's Economic Stimulus package.
Have a good weekend, everybody!

Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteI think about you all the time and periodically check out your blog....I would LOVE to be added to a notification list!
Isn't it strange how the universe works? To have some good (the film) come out of this experience is amazing. I think it's incredibly inspirational and brave of you to share so much with all of us.
You are never far from my thoughts...in fact, every morning in the shower as I wash my breasts, my thoughts drift to you.
Always with you,
K.
