A bailout plan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Think this might work ????
Steve in Iowa bought a horse from a farmer for $100. The
farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day.
The next day he drove upand said, 'Sorry son,
but I have some bad news, the horse died.'
Steve replied, 'Well, then just give me my money
back.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent
it already.'
Steve said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead
horse.'
The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him?'
Steve said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
The farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead
horse!'
Steve said, 'Sure I can, watch me. I just won't
tell any body he's dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with Steve and asked,
'What happened with that dead horse?'
Steve said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at
two dollars a piece and made a profit.'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'
Steve said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his
two dollars back.'
Steve now works for the government. He'll be the one
who figures out how to "bail us out."
