Financial Planning explained by an Irishman in the Outback.
Paddy bought a camel from a farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the camel the next day. In the morning he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The camel's died.'
Paddy replied, 'Well just give me my money back then.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.'? Paddy said, 'OK then, just bring me the dead camel.'? The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?'?
Paddy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'? The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead camel!'? Paddy said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he's dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, 'What happened with that dead camel?'? Paddy said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2 each and made a profit of $898.'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'? Paddy said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2 back.' Paddy now works for the Commonwealth Bank as a financial planner.
