The Donkey
A Cajun named Jean Paul moved to Texas and bought 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, "Sorry, but I got some bad news. The donkey died."
"Well then, just give me my money back."
"Cain't do that. I went and spent it already."
"OK then, just unload the donkey."
"What ya gonna do with em?"
"I'm gonna raffle him off."
"Ya cain't raffle off a dead donkey!"
"Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anyone he's dead."
A month later the farmer met up with the Cajun and asked, "What happened with the dead donkey?"
"I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2.00 apiece and made a profit of $898.00."
"Didn't no one complain?"
"Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2.00 back."

He coulda done a lot better, Whiz. Donkey dong soup is pretty rare, $20 a bowl. Then there's yer backstrap, loins, hams, pickled donkey feet... And then yer hide made into a teepee. I think you need to get Emeril and Daniel Boone into this. There's money to be made...

Amanda: When I get something emailed to me that I think is really funny, I keep in in a folder called: Just for Fun. When I'm stuck for a post, I dig through that folder for something clever to put here. The marketing terminology was my very favorite.

I just read the cruise ship retirement plan post before this one.
Now I know how I will finance MY retirement.
Smart.
