In a small town, a young man named Billy decides to buy a horse…
He finds a local farmer who has a horse for sale and offers to buy it for $250.
The farmer agrees to deliver the horse to Billy’s house the next day…
The following day, the farmer shows up at Billy’s doorstep, looking a bit sheepish.
“Sorry, son,” says the farmer, “but I’ve got some bad news… “
“The horse has died.”
Billy, surprised but calm, responds, “That’s okay, just give me my money back.”
The farmer scratches his head and replies, “Well, here’s the thing – I canβt do that, I went and spent it already.”
Billy thinks for a moment and then says, “Alright, just bring me the dead horse then.”
The farmer, puzzled, asks, “What are you going to do with a dead horse?”
Billy grins and says, “I’m going to raffle it off.”
The farmer laughs and says, “You can’t raffle off a dead horse! Who’d buy a ticket?”
Billy, still smiling, replies, “Sure I can. I just won’t tell anyone that the horse is dead.”
A month later, the farmer sees Billy in town and can’t help but ask, “So, what happened with that dead horse? Did you really raffle it off?”
Billy proudly replies, “Sure did! I sold 500 tickets at $5 each.”
The farmer, amazed, asks, “Didn’t anyone complain when they found out the horse was dead?”
Billy smiles and says, “Just the guy who won… “
“So, I gave him his $5 back.”

Nothing funny about a dead horse.
