Down Maine, young fella went off to Harvard. Came back four years all full or himself. Eager to show off his newfound smarts, he came upon a farmer and struck up a conversation.
Finally it came to a contest...

"Well" the Harvard grad said to the farmer, "Seeing I got me a Harvard degree, let me challenge you a bit. You ask me any question and if I cannot answer it, I will give you a dollar. Then I may ask you any question. To be fair, given that after all I am a Harvard graduate and you are but a farmer of fewer means, if you cannot answer my question, you only give me fifty cents."

"Ayuh" the farmer agreed, and asked the Harvard grad: "What has three legs and flies?"

After musing for a bit, the Harvard grad admitted defeat. "I do not know the answer to that, here is your dollar".

"Now", asked the Harvard grad, "what <i>does</i> have three legs and flies?"

"Damned if I know", said the farmer. "Here is your fifty cents".

    Got this from WWJ...enjoy..

    An old country farmerwith some money problems bought a mule for $100 from another older farmer who agreed to deliver the mule the next day.
    However, the second farmer drove up and said,"I'm sorry, but I have bad news. The mule died."
    "Well then, just give my money back," the first farmer said.
    "Actually, I can't " was the answer. " I already spent it."
    "Well, OK, just unload the mule."
    "What are you going to do with the dead mule?"
    "I'm going to raffle him off."
    The second farmer was shocked and exclaimed,"you can't raffle off a dead mule!"
    But the response was, "Sure I can. I won't tell anyone he's dead."
    A month later, the two farmers met agin and the second farmer had to ask,"So whatever happened with the dead mule?"
    "I raffled him off just like I said. I sold 500 tickets at $2 apiece and with $100 I spent on the mule, made a nice profit of $898."
    "But didn't anyone complain?"
    "Just the guy who won-- so I gave him his $2 dollars back."
