Little Johnny...

If you're watching the liberal leadership tussle...you might like this one...

Dave from Central Coast Milk in Nambour sent it to me!!!


A young man named Johnny bought a donkey from a farmer for $100. The
farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. When the farmer drove
up the next day, he said, "Sorry son, I have some bad news. The
donkey is on my truck, but I'm afraid he's dead.". Johnny replied, "Well
then, just give me my money back."

The farmer said, "I can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Johnny said, "Just unload the donkey anyway."
The farmer asked, "What are you going to do with him?"

Johnny said, "I'm going to raffle him off."

The farmer exclaimed, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

But Johnny, with a big smile on his face, said "O yes I can. Watch me. I
just won't tell anybody that he's dead."

A month later the farmer met up with Johnny and asked, "What happened
with that dead donkey?"

Johnny said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a
piece and made a profit of $798.00."

Totally amazed, the farmer asked, "Didn't anyone complain that you had
stolen their money because you lied about the donkey being dead?"

Johnny 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 really great guy."

Johnny grew up and eventually became the Prime Minister of Australia,
and no matter how many times he lied or how much money he took from
Aussie voters, as long as he gave them back some of the money, most of
them thought he was a great guy.
