EUSTIS & CURTIS

The next morning the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night.” Eustis & Curtis 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?”Eustis said, “We gonna raffle him off.”

The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead mule!” Curtis said, “We shore can! Heck, we don’t hafta tell nobody he’s dead!”

A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Eustis & Curtis 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.”
Curtis said,”Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and wound up with 998 smackaroos.”

The farmer said,”My Lord, didn’t anyone complain?” Eustis said, “Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back.”

Eustis and Curtis now work for the government. They’re overseeing the Obama Health Care Program.
