A country boy named Joe bought a horse from a stable for $250. The stable owner agreed to deliver the horse in a few days.
A couple of days later, the owner drove up to Joe's house and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news. Your horse died."
Joe replied, "Well, then just give me my money back."
The stable owner said, "I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I've already spent the money, and technically... he was your horse when he died."
Joe thought for a minute, then said, "Ok. Bring me the horse anyway."
The owner asked, "What are you going to do with a dead horse?"
Joe replied, "You let me worry about that."
A month later, the stable owner ran into Joe at a local coffee shop, and asked him, "Say, whatever happened with that dead horse?"
Joe replied, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $5 apiece. That's $2500 total."
The owner said, "Wow! Didn't anyone complain?"
Joe replied, "Just the guy who won... so I gave him his $5 back."
