Blue Ribbons for Caulkpig A young man named Gold Icky bought a pig from an old farmer for $100.00
The farmer agreed to deliver the pig the next day. When the farmer drove up the next day, he said,
Sorry son, but I have some bad news...the pig is on my truck, but he's dead."
Gold Icky replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."The farmer said, "I Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Gold Icky said, "OK then, just unload the pig anyway".
The farmer asked, "What are ya gonna do with him?"
Gold Icky said, "I'm going to raffle him off."
To which the farmer exclaimed, "You can't raffle off a dead pig!"
But Gold Icky , with a big smile on his face, said
Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody that he's dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Gold Icky and asked, "What happened with that dead pig?"
Gold Icky said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $798.00."
Totally amazed, the farmer asked, "Didn't anyone complain that you had stolen their money because you lied about the pig being dead?"
And Gold Icky replied, "The only guy who found out about the pig being dead was the raffle winner, when he came to claim his prize. So I gave him his $2 back, $200 extra, plus blue ribbons and draft beer which is more than double the going value of a pig, so I thought he thought I was a great guy."
Gold Icky grew up and eventually became the President of a Public Company, and no matter how many times he lied and decieved the shareholders everyone but Caulkpig thought he was a great guy.
