Curtis and Leroy Get Them Some Gub'mint Jobs

From today's e-mail:



Curtis & Leroy


Curtis & Leroy saw an ad in the
 Starkville Daily News Newspaper in Starkville, MS. And bought a mule for $100.

The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day...

The next morning the farmer drove up and said,
 "Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night."

Curtis & Leroy replied,
 "Well, then just give us our money back."

The farmer said,
 "Can't do that. I went and spent it already.."

They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead mule."

The farmer asked, "What in the world ya'll gonna do with a dead mule?"

Curtis said, "We gonna raffle him off."

The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead mule!"

Leroy said, "We shore can!  Heck, we don't hafta tell nobody he's dead!"

A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly  grocery store and asked.

"What'd you fellers ever do
 with that dead mule?"

They said,"We raffled him
 off like we said we wuz gonna do."

Leroy said,"Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998."

The farmer said,"My Lord, didn't anyone complain?"

Curtis said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."
 

Curtis and Leroy now work for the government.

They're overseeing the Bailout Program.





Limit all US politicians to two terms.
 
One in office,
 
One in prison,
 
Illinois already does this.

(Doesn't this story remind you of Ozark Billy Long?)
