    Training for a Government Position
    Lynn Lievonen
    Young Gordy lived in Vancouver and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day he drove up saying, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.'<br />
    <br />
    Gordy replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'<br />
    <br />
    The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.'<br />
    <br />
    Gordy said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'<br />
    <br />
    The farmer asked, 'Wat ya gonna do with a dead donkey?<br />
    <br />
    Gordy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'<br />
    <br />
    The farmer said, you can't raffle off a dead donkey!'<br />
    <br />
    Gordy said, 'Sure I can, I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'<br />
    <br />
    A month later, the farmer met up with Gordy and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?'<br />
    <br />
    Gordy said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2 each and I made a profit of $898.'<br />
    <br />
    The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'<br />
    <br />
    Gordy said, 'Just the guy who won, so I gave him his $2 back.'<br />
    <br />
    Gordy now works for the government.<br />
