I went and spent it already." Chuck said, "OK. Then just bring me the dead donkey." The farmer asked, "What ya' gonna do with him?" Chuck answered, "I'm going to raffle him off." The farmer said' "you can't raffle off a dead donkey." Chuck said, "sure I can.Just watch. I just won't tell anyone he's dead."
