curtis & leroy

Curtis &Leroy saw an ad in the The Oxford Eagle Newspaper in OXFORD, MS. and bought a mule for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day. The next morning the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night." Curtis & Leroy replied, "Well, then just give us our money back." The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead mule." The farmer asked, "What in the world ya'll gonna do with a dead mule?" Curtis said, "We gonna raffle him off."
> The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead mule!" Leroy said, "We shore can! Heck, we don't hafta tell nobody he's dead!" A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis &Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and asked. What'd you fellers ever do with that dead mule?"
> They said,"We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do.."
> Leroy said,"Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898."
> The farmer said,"My Lord, didn't anyone complain?"
> Curtis said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."
> Curtis and Leroy now work for the government.
