Ole left Norway and moved to Minnesota where he bought him a donkey from an old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day, the farmer drove up and said "Ole, I have some bad news. The donkey died last night. "Well" said Ole, "just give me back the 100 dollars".
"I cant" said the farmer "I all ready spent it."
"Ok den ust unload dat donkey".
"What are you going to do with him"?
"Im going to raffle him off".
"You cant raffle a dead donkey you dumb Norwegian".
"Well dats where you are wrong! You wait and learn how smart we Norwegians are".
A month later the farmer ran into Ole and asked "What happened with the dead donkey?"
"I raffled dat donkey off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made 998 dollars".
"Didnt anyone complain?"
Just dat guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars
