Bubba & Beaudreaux Bailout Program

Bubba & Beaudreaux saw an ad in the Breaux Bridge Thrifty Nickel 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."
Bubba & Beaudreaux replied,"Well, then just give us our money back."
The farmer said,"Can't do that. I went to the casino 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?"
Bubba 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 Bubba & Beaudreaux  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."
Beaudreaux said,"Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898."
The farmer said,"My Lord, didn't anyone complain?" Bubba said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."
Bubba & Beaudreaux now work for the government.

They're overseeing the Bailout Program.
