A young Scots lad named Gordon bought a donkey from an old farmer for £100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day, but when the farmer arrived he hung his head and said, "The donkey's on the truck,but I have some bad news...he's dead." Gordon replied, "Well then, just gimme my money back." The farmer said, "I can't do that. I went and spent it already." Gordon said, "Och then, just unload the donkey anyway". The farmer asked, "What are you going to do with him?" Gordon said, "I'm gonna raffle him off." To which the farmer exclaimed, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" But Gordon, with a big smile on his face, said "Sure I can. Jes' watch me. I won't tell anybody that he's dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Gordon and asked, "What happened
with that dead donkey?" Gordon said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a profit of £698.00." Totally amazed, the farmer asked, "Didn't anyone complain that you had stolen their money because you lied about the donkey being dead?" Gordon replied, "The only guy who found out about the donkey being dead was the raffle winner, when he came to claim his prize. So I gave him his £2 back plus £200 extra, which is double the going value of a donkey, so he thought I was a great guy."
Gordon grew up and eventually became the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and no matter how many times he lied or how much money he stole from British voters, as long as he gave them back some of the stolen money, most of them thought he was a great guy. |

Politicians EH?
Sorry..... there are very few of them that I have any respect for........I see George Galloway has been suspended from government for 18 days for the very thing he always denied........taking money via his charity from Saddam Hussain. _________________ John Thomson
