Funny Story From My Pops

Sloane,

I immediately thought of your plight when my pops told me this story! Everyday you here more and more stories of big business going down from their own greed. Read this I think it's funny!

The Donkey
A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $ 100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died."
Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Kenny said, "OK then, at least give me the donkey." The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"
Kenny, "I'm going to raffle him off."
Farmer, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Kenny, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened with
that dead donkey?"
Kenny, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made
a profit of $ 898."
Farmer, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Kenny, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."

Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.

PS: I wonder what Ken Lays sign is. I am gonna say Aries or Leo? Any other guesses?

LOL! My $ $ $ $ would be on "that he's a Cap"? They ALWAYS see an opportunity in EVERYTHING!

I have a sister and a brother who are both double 'Caps' both are hard working and honest! I would call Ken Lay a theif!!

Speaking of my family, they all left on Sunday, and even though they made a huge mess and never a moments peace, the silence after they left is killing me...I really, really miss them!!! It was a nice visit and I intend to not ever stay away so long again!

Susan, I liked that story..and it would be interesting to find out what sign Ken Lay is--the Cap, Leo or Aries are good guesses--I just can't imagine that he would be a Libra. Enron got what they deserved and WorldCom is going to take the next penance beating. What are they in debt of? Is it 4 billion dollars or something? I just hope it doesn't effect the taxpayers. (like us)
Cheers,
Sloane
