Bail Out Explained
Steve in Iowa bought a horse from a farmer for $100. 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.'
Steve replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already'
Steve said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead horse.'
The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him?
Steve said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
The farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead horse!'
Steve said, 'Sure I can, Watch me. I just won't tell any body he's dead.
A month later, the farmer met up with Steve and asked, 'What happened with that dead horse?'
Steve 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?'
Steve said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'
Steve works now for the government. He will be the one who figures out how to "bail us out".
