Flogging a dead horse   Young Kevin, moved to Canberra and bought a Donkey from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the Donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.' Kevin replied, 'Well,then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.' Kevin said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What are ya gonna do with him? Kevin said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!' Kevin said, 'Sure I can. Watch me.. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.' A month later, the farmer met up with Kevin and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?' Kevin said, 'I raffled him off & sold 500 tickets at two Dollars a piece.  I then made A profit of $898.00.' The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Kevin said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two Dollars back.' Kevin now works for the Australian Government as Prime Minister.
