Funny Story

[Nyboy]

A client came into work, she has a amazing estate down the road from me.Talking she mentioned that she got 2 ponies hoping it would make her grandkids visit more. I thought free manure and asked if I could have the manure when the stable was cleaned ( I have to buy bags from HomeDepot). She got this very surprised look and said " why in the world would you want that ?" I repilied it is great fertilizer for my garden. She slapped a 20 dollar bill on the table and said " Al forget the horse s**t, get yourself some Miracle-gro"

guess she doesn't know how valuable the stuff really is to a gardener or she would be the one taking the money!

After the grandkids fail to show up, Al buys both ponies from the neighbor with the $20. The neighbor agrees to deliver the horses the next day.

The next day she drives up and says, "Sorry Al, but I have some bad news, The ponies died."

Al replies, "Well, then just give me my money back."

The neighbor says, "Can't do that. I spent it already."

"Ok, then, just bring me the dead ponies."

"What are you gonna do with them?"

"I'm going to raffle them off."

"You can't raffle off a dead horse!"

Al says, "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody they're dead."

A month later, the neighbor met up with Al and asks, "What happened with those dead ponies?"

"I raffled them off. I sold 500 tickets at 1 dollar a piece and made a net profit of $499."

The neighbor, "Didn't anyone complain?"

Al says, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his dollar back."
