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 following morning the farmer drove up, and said: "Sorry, fellers, I have some bad news for you, 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; "..Okay 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 gonn'a 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: "Say...what'd you fellers ever do with that dead mule?"
Curtis, said; "We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonn'a do."
Leroy added; "Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898."
The farmer said; "My Lord, didn't anyone complain...?"
Curtis said; "Well, the feller who won was really upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."
Curtis and Leroy now work for the government. They're overseeing McGuinty's
Harmonization Sales Tax Plan.
