Dead Donkey

[Henny Penny]

Young Paddy, moved to Roscommon and bought a
Donkey from a farmer for €100.00. 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.'

Paddy replied,
'Well,then just give me my money back.'

The farmer said,
'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.'

Paddy said,
'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'

The farmer asked,
'What are ya gonna do with him?

Paddy said,
'I'm going to raffle him off.'

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

Paddy said,
'Sure I can. Watch me.. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'

A month later, the farmer met up with
Paddy and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?'
Paddy said,
'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two euro's a piece and made
a profit of €898.00.'

The farmer said,
'Didn't anyone complain?'

Paddy said,
'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two euro's back.'

Paddy now works for the Irish Government

Theres also the one about the Guard in Dublin finding the dead donkey in Westmoreland Street. Unfortunately writing his report he was'nt able to spell Westmoreland St so he pushed the donkey into Abbey St, instead.

Then there's the famous Paddy Crosbie, School Around the Corner "Funny Incident" about a horse that fell into a hole being excavated by the Corpo...

Paddy "And what did they do with the poor horse?"

School-kid "Well when he fell in the hole he broke his leg, so they had to shoot him."

Paddy " And did they shoot him in the hole?"

School-kid "No Sir, they shot him in the head."
