Boudreaux left the bayou and moved to Arkansas where he bought
him a donkey from an old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to
deliver the donkey the next day. The next day, the farmer drove up and said,
"I'm sorry, but I have some bad news... the donkey died last night." "Well,
den" said Boudreaux, "Jus' give my money back, yeah." "I
can't do that Sir, I went and spent it already." "OK, den. Jus' unload dat
donkey." "What are you gonna do with him?" "I'm gon-to raffle him off." "You
can't raffle a dead donkey, you dumb Cajun!" "Well dats where you wrong! You
wait you an' you learn how smart we Cajuns are!"
A month later the farmer ran into the Cajun and asked, "What happened with
that dead donkey?" "I raffled dat donkey off. I sold 500 tickets at two
dollars apiece and made $998.00." "Didn't anyone complain?" "Just dat guy
who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
