THE POLITICIAN AND HIS PLOY! In 1951 a politician bought a horse for a race for £50,000. The seller agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next morning he stopped and said, "Sorry son, but I have bad news. The horse is dead." The politician replied, "Well, just give me my money back." The salesman said, "You can't do that. I've already spent it." The politician said, "Okay, so bring just give me the dead horse." The farmer asked, "What do you want with that?" The politician said: "I will raffle him among the people as a fast horse that can win a race." The seller replied, "You can't raffle off a dead horse." The politician replied: "Of course, I can. Watch me. You don't know the people, I'll post beautiful pictures of a horse, and I won't tell anyone that he's dead. I will market it with propaganda and present it as capable of scaring criminals." A month later, the salesman met the politician and asked, "What happened to that dead horse?" The politician replied: 'I raffled it off. I sold 1 million tickets at £2 each and made a profit of £2 million. The seller was stunned and asked: 'Anyone complain?' he said, "Only the man who won I told him the horse died in calving. So I gave him his £2 back with an apology. I told him I refunded everyone. He comforted me and told me to persevere and that I am a good man." After all, I suffered (a great loss). He prayed for me and called on God to bless me. To tell me that the country needs honest people like me to come and run for office." #Copied! LESSON This is no different from the ploy Politicians employ to F..k us through the A... in broad daylight. The quixotic and the politically inept, buy this same dead Horse year in and year out then blame it on some God knows what.
