A young man named Gordon bought a donkey from an old farmer for £100
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day, but when the
farmer drove up he said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news... the
donkey is on my truck, but unfortunately he's dead.
Gordon replied, 'Well then, just give me my money back.'
The farmer said, 'I can't do that, because I've spent it already.
Gordon said, 'OK then, well just unload the donkey anyway.
The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?'
Gordon answered, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
To which the farmer exclaimed, 'Surely you can't raffle off a dead
donkey!'
But Gordon, with a wicked smile on his face said, 'Of course I can,
I just won't bother to tell anybody tha t he's dead.'
A month later the farmer met up with Gordon and asked, 'What
happened with that dead donkey?'
Gordon said, 'I raffled him off, sold 500 tickets at two pounds a
piece and made a huge, fat profit!!'
Totally amazed, the farmer asked, 'Didn't anyone complain that you
had stolen their money because you lied about the donkey being dead?'
To which Gordon replied, 'The only guy who found out about the
donkey being dead was the raffle winner when he came to claim his
prize. So I gave him his £2 raffle ticket money back plus an extra
£200, which as you know is double the going rate for a donkey, so he
thought I was great guy!!
Gordon grew up and eventually became the Chancellor of the Exchequer
and then Prime Minister as and no matter how many times he lied, or
how much money he stole from the British voters, as long as he gave
them back some of the stolen money, most of them, unfortunately,
still thought he was a great guy.
The moral of this story is that, if you think Gordon is about to
play fair and do something for the everyday people of the country
for once in his miserable, lying life, think again my friend,
because you'll be better off flogging a dead donkey.
