Today my grandfather sent me the story below via email. It certainly lacks integrity, however that aside, it is a good example of “Thinking Outside The Box”. Plus hopefully it will make you laugh or at least put a smile on your face. Enjoy!

Young Johnny moved to Albury and bought a horse from a farmer for $100.00.
The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day.
The next day he drove up and said, ‘Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died.’
Johnny replied, ‘Well, then just give me my money back.’
The farmer said, ‘Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.’
‘Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.’
The farmer asked, ‘What ya gonna do with him?
Johnny said, ‘I’m going to raffle him off.’
The farmer said, ‘You can’t raffle off a dead horse!’
Johnny said, ‘Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.’
A month later, the farmer met up with Johnny and asked, ‘What happened with that dead horse?’
Johnny said, ‘I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a net profit of $898.00.’
The farmer said, ‘Didn’t anyone complain?’
Johnny said, ‘Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.’
Johnny grew up and now works for the government in the tax department…..
