Rodney & The Donkey
THE TALE OF RODNEY AND THE DONKEY
A city boy, Rodney, 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."
Rodney replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Rodney said, "OK then, at least give me the donkey."
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"
Rodney, "I'm going to raffle him off."
Farmer, " You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Rodney, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody
he is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Rodney and asked,"What happened with that dead donkey?"
Rodney, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $900.
Farmer, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Rodney, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
Rodney grew up and eventually became the chairman of HIH, FAI and OneTelIf at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

My son saw the funny side of this joke (I didn't read the last line). Perhaps the generation gulf isn't so wide after all

I remember seeing that guy touted as the key note speaker at business conferences. Didn't like him then. Wondered what sort of people wanted to hear what he had to say on how to run a business.
Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
