Oilfield Appreciation Events: Oilfield Joke: An Oilman Buys Some Cattle...

A West Texas oilman wanted to try his hand at buying and selling cattle. At a livestock sale he bought 100 head of steers that averaged right at $500 per head.

Part of the deal was that the rancher would haul them to the Oilman’s pens the next day.

The rancher delivered the cattle and told the Oilman, “I’ve got some bad news. There’s only 98 head on the truck. Two head got struck by lightning last night.”

After a moment of deep thought, the Oilman said, “If I'm going to come out on this deal, I'm going to have make those dead steers bring something. Would you haul them over here so I can raffle them off ?”

Incredulous, the rancher said, “You can’t raffle off dead steers.”

“Sure I can… I just won’t tell anyone they’re dead,” said the oilman.

A month later, the rancher saw the oilman and asked, “What happened with the dead steers?"

“Just like I said… I raffled them off. I sold 100 tickets for $20 each and made $930 on the deal,” smiled the oilman.

“Didn’t anyone complain?” asked the rancher.

“Just the guy who won the raffle… So I gave him his money back plus $50 for his trouble,” said the oilman.
