Young Chuck moved to Montana and bought a horse from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day.

The next day, he drove up and said, �Sorry, son, but I have some bad news. The horse died. �Chuck replied, �Well, then, just give me my money back.�
The farmer said, �Can�t do that. I went and spent it already.�

Chuck said, �Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.�
The farmer asked, �What ya gonna do with him?�
Chuck said, �I�m going to raffle him off.�
The farmer said, �You can�t raffle off a dead horse!�
Chuck said, �Sure I can. Watch me. I just won�t tell anybody he�s dead.�

A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, �What happened with that dead horse?�
Chuck said, �I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a net profit of $998.00.�

The farmer said, �Didn�t anyone complain?� Chuck said, �Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.�

Chuck grew up and works for the government.
