Chuck and the Horse
A young man named Chuck bought a horse from a farmer for $250. The farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next day, the farmer drove up to Chucks house and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died."Chuck replied, "Well, then just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Chuck said, "Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse."
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"
Chuck said, "I'm going to raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead horse!"
Chuck said, "Sure I can, Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."
A month Later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, "What happened with that dead horse?"
Chuck said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at five dollars apiece and made a profit of $2495."
The farmer said, "Didn't anyone complain?"
Chuck said, "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his five dollars back."

Hi Jim,
Where have you been? Welcome back!
Btw, I predicted it accurately that you would be back by yesterday or today. I must be Psychic. You see, when two bloggers disappear at the same time, they usually return at the same time, and when Wallops returned, I knew you would soon follow. I'm not implying any connection, I know it is purely coincidence.
No connection other than she is a good friend.
I needed a break from here. Later on, I will send you a private mail explaining things.
Have a great day!
Way to go Chuck! Very resourceful, I'd say
Good to see you! Glad you liked!
Brilliant!.....Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
Like your new pic.
Yeah, I also agree with Cat about your disappearance and coming back at the same time as Wallops... and Mic!!! ummmmm....
Maybe you care to also send me some explanaton in my PM?
Chuck is a very clever guy indeed!
Glad you liked it. I liked yours also.
Actually Wallops, Mic, and I conspired to disappear and then reappear at the same time!
It´d better not be the ETs as he´s always putting the blame on those poor creatures.
Mic was working on his honeydew list.
Does the guy have to be from Mars?
