Cool Shaggy Story
A Shaggy Dog Story
- My secretary hits me with a call from my second cousin, once removed, on my Mother’s side, Tommy the horseplayer.
- He is a deadbeat and a miscreant (evil) relative, and someone you should run away from like your behind was on fire.
- Tommy is broke again, and needs $150 to play a horse at Monticello racetrack where he is. Naturally the nag is a sure thing because as an insider, he knows the fix is in by the mob guys.
- He offers as collateral his pedigreed collie male, Jack London, professional breeding stud worth over Ten Grand. It was true, and his sole asset.
- He don’t know I would give him (Tommy) the $150 if he just signs a contract never to call me again. I say yeah for my dear departed mother’s sake.
- He needs the dinero wired to Monticello Raceway, upstate N.Y. He’ll deliver the collateral when he gets back to NYC.
- Tommy calls back later: two things: the horse loses, and Jack London the collie breeding champion – died. On behalf of both of them – very sorry.
- I say, “Tommy bring me Jack London’s corpse, I’m going to recoup my
$150.” He answers with the universal question – “But how?”
- “Not your problem, prove the collie exists and died, or get-out-of-town.”
- Here’s where you, dear reader come in. How did I take in $1,150 for my lost
$150? You figure it out and the first hand up wins $100 cash, tax-free.
- I read all your emails, but nobody got it. You want the answer?
- Hint: I control a 501 (c) (3), a not-for-profit, IRS approved charity.
- We can hold legal Raffles (lottery for a prize) anytime for any reason.
- Now, 258 folks each bought a $5 raffle to win the $10,000 breeding stud.
- You say, “But the dog was dead!”
- The raffle never mentioned the deceased nature of the collie Jack London.
- You say, “But didn’t you get complaints when they found out the
dog-was-dead?”
- I answer: – “Sure, but only one complaint, and that from the winner. I
show the raffle winner the corpse of Jack London and offered it to him, plus
I give him his $5 back.” He could have the dog stuffed in memorial, right?
19. That left my charity with a return of $1,145.
The non-profit gave me my $150 back and $490 for my fund raising efforts.
The charity earned $650 – found money they never would have seen.
- Yes, it’s IRS legal to pay a fund-raiser up to 60% of what they bring in.
- Tommy the horseplayer still calls me up with sure things. I tell him,
“No! – unless you got good collateral like before.”
- He is saving up to buy another stud breeding collie to be registered as Jack London, #2. I hope this time the dog lives. Aha! Moment? See ya, H
