Boud & Tib saw an ad in de Daily Newspaper and bought a mule for $100.

The farmer (Moon-nuit) agreed to deliver the mule the next day.

The next morning Moon-nuit drove up and said,”Sorry, fellows, Ahhave some bad news, De mule done died last night.”

Boud & Thib replied, ” Well, den just give us our money back.”

The farmer (Moon-nuit) said,”Can’t do dat. Ah went and spent it already.”

Dey said, “OK den, just bring us de dead mule.”

The farmer asked, “What in de world ya’ll gonna do wid a dead mule?”

Boud said, “We gonna raffle him off.”

Moon-nuit said, “You can’t raffle off a dead mule!”

Thib said, “We shore can! Heck, we don’t hafta tell nobody he’s dead!”

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

“What’d you fellers ever do with dat dead mule?”

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

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

Moon-nuit said,”My Lord, didn’t anyone complain?”

Boud said, “Well, de feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back.”

Boud & Thib now work for de government.
