An economist had finished his day at work and was leaving for home, when he noticed a small boy call out to him from the footpath where he was sitting with a dog.
The boy said, "Sir, would you like to buy a dog."
The economist was surprised by the approach, but asked nevertheless, "How much are you selling the dog for?"
The boy replied "Twenty thousand dollars."
"Twenty thousand dollars for this dog!" the economist exclaimed.
"Does he know any special tricks to make him worth so much money?"
The boy replied, "Sir, this dog never made a dime in his life. If you take into consideration the expenses on his food, I think you will lose money on him every year."
The economist did not want to let go the opportunity to lecture the boy about the principles of economics and explained to him the fact that a commodity needed to yield more returns than it consumed to equal a purchase price.
He finished by saying that the five dollars could be the maximum sum that should be expected for the dog, that too from somebody who just wanted a companion.
Feeling satisfied with the knowledge that he had imparted to the young boy, the economist went away. A few days later, the economist again noticed the small boy was again sitting on the footpath but this time there was no dog in sight.
He asked the boy, "Did you get the five dollars for your dog?"
The boy said, "No, I got twenty thousand dollars for him."
The business man was stunned.
"How on earth did you get twenty thousand dollars for that dog?" he asked.
"It was a piece of cake," replied the boy.
"I traded him for two ten thousand dollar cats."
$54,000
$41,000 I can’t think of anything worse after a night of drinking than waking up next to someone and not being able to remember their name, or how you met, or why they’re dead. where did everybody go?
Last one $60,000 A dog went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote: "Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof." The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog, "There are only nine words here. You could send another 'Woof' for the same price." The dog replied, "but that would make no sense at all!"
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......
I've been wrong lots of times. Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.
well....it started in my head as an april fools joke with that hoard of cash and the photo but it didn't end up that way really. Everything is true except the cash shown is the cash I recieved yesterday when I sold 1 pair of birds. The $4234 winnings aren't even in that photo.
Anyway, both contests are in fact real and I will pay off as expected. [thats an april fools joke on top of another ]
Now guess how much is there and you can still win.

I should have figured this was a joke right after you said that you won money in a casino.
nope, wasn't a joke. I won the $4234 just like I said. The pile of money in the photo is from selling 2 birds. So guess how much and win some snus.
Their may be a third contest edition....we'll see.
So far I owe snus to squeezy, skelly and who will be next?
if govegan wins I'm sending him hamburger in snus tins.
