THE CURRENT BANKING CRISIS EXPLAINED‚ ‚
‚
Paddy bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.‚
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day he drove up and said, ‘Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey’s died.’‚
‚
Paddy replied, ‘Well then just give me my money back.’‚
‚
The farmer said, ‘Can’t do that. I’ve already spent it.’‚
‚
Paddy said, ‘OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.’‚
‚
The farmer asked, ‘What are you going to do with him?’‚
‚
Paddy said, ‘I’m going to raffle him off.’‚
‚
The farmer said, ‘You can’t raffle a dead donkey!’‚
‚
Paddy said, ‘Sure I can. Watch me. ‚ I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.’‚
‚
A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, ‘What happened with that dead donkey?’‚
‚
Paddy said, ‘I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at‚ a toonie‚ a piece and made a profit of $898′‚
‚
The farmer said, ‘Didn’t anyone complain?’‚
‚
Paddy said, ‘Just the guy who won. ‚ So I gave him his two dollars back.’ ‚
‚
Paddy now works for CIBC

Thanks to my family back in England for forwarding this internet joke to me. Couldn’t help but pass it on.
