Curtis & Leroy saw an ad in the Herald-Citizen in Cookeville, TN, and bought a mule for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day.
The next morning the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry, fellas, I have some bad news. The mule died last night.” Curtis & Leroy replied, “Well, then, just give us our money back.” The farmer said, “Sorry, can’t do that. I went and spent it already.” They said, “OK, then, just bring us the dead mule.” The farmer asked, “What in the world ya’ll gonna do with a dead mule?” Curtis said, “We gonna raffle him off.” The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead mule!” Leroy said, “We shore can! Heck, we don’t hafta tell nobody ee’s dead!” A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy at the IGA grocery store and asked, “What’d you fellers ever do with that dead mule?” They said, “We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do.” Leroy said, “Shucks, we sold 1000 tickets fer two bucks apiece and made a profit of $1,998.00 bucks.” The farmer said, “My Lord, didn’t anyone complain?” Curtis said, “Well, the feller who won got upset cause the mule was dead. So, we gave him his two bucks back.” Curtis and Leroy now work for the government. They’re overseeing the Vote Count, Bailout, and Stimulus Programs.
