Wall Street Bailout

How the US-Bailout Works

Young Chuck moved to Texas and bought a donkey from a farmer for $100.
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."

Chuck: "Well, then just give me my money back."

Farmer: "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."

Chuck: "Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey."

Farmer: "What ya gonna do with him?"

Chuck: "I'm going to raffle him off."

Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

Chuck: "Sure I can, watch me! I just won't tell anybody he's dead."

A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck.
Farmer: "What happened with that dead donkey?"

Chuck: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $998."

Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"

Chuck: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."

Chuck now works for Goldman Sachs
