Young Ron Collins

Young Ron Collins in Montana 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 have some bad news; the horse died.”

Ron replied, ‘Well, then just give me my money back.”

The farmer said, “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already”

Ron said, “Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.”

The farmer asked, “What ya gonna do with him?”

Ron said, “I’m going to raffle him off.”

The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead horse!”

Ron said, “Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.”

A month later, the farmer met up with Ron and asked, “What happened with that dead horse?”

Ron said, “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998.”

The farmer said, “Didn’t anyone complain?”

Ron said, “Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.”

Ron grew up and works now for the government. He was the one who figured out how to “bail us out.”
