How Wall Street Works (humor)
HOW Wall Street Works
Young Chuck 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 died.' Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.' Chuck said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him? Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!' Chuck said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.' A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?' Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998.' The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.' Chuck now works for Goldman Sach

Very funny, but painfully close to the truth...

Chuck didn't give the 2 dollars back. He went to the federal government and asked for a 'hardship loan'. The angry raffle winner got his 2 dollars, and Chuck kept his $1000, and the tax payer got stuck with a bill for $2. But no worries! We now hold a 20% stake in all Chucks future raffle activity! To bad everyone in the county had already heard that Chuck is crooked, and won't buy the tickets.
....christ, I thought I was going to write a funny response. But its not funny at all. Its sad and just a little to close to the truth....

What about all the people that bought donkey insurance? There is a big donkey-debt swap market out there. Clinton legalized donkey gambling before he left office.

It was Bush's fault that there weren't more regulators to check the condition of the donkey.
