FROM THE BOX MARKED "INCOMMING":

Stanley and the Donkey

Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.

The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.


The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry Chuck, but I have some bad
news. The donkey 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 donkey."


The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with a dead donkey?"


Chuck said, "I'm going to raffle him off."


The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"


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 donkey?"


Chuck said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece
and made a profit of $898.00."


The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?"


Chuck said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."


Chuck now works for Morgan Stanley.
