What will you do about this funny case?

aniceday · 10-25-2009, 05:49 AM

A donkey at an Algerian market ate the money of a man who came to buy him, making the unfortunate buyer and the owner wonder who the animal belongs to, an Algerian newspaper reported.

Al Shuruk al Yawmi, a newspaper published in the northern Algerian town of Tizi Ouzou, said the customer and the seller were traditionally bargaining for price for too long and failed to notice the donkey consuming the stack of banknotes meant as a payment for him.

Neither the Tizi Ouzou district court nor the city court were able to make a ruling that would satisfy both parties, so the case was passed on to the Algerian Supreme Court in the hope that it will resolve the bitter dispute.

Then what's your idea about this case?

hehehehe.. hey wait a minute.. Isn't donkey a vegetarian?? Then how it ate the monkey??

No, it ate a large stack of bills.

Make the donkey work to earn the money for the buyer.

Let them fight

Or give the donkey to the original owner. If he never got the money, it is still his.

But if the money is in the donkey and it's given to the original owner he both keeps the animal AND gets the money!

**afccarl666** · 10-25-2009, 03:46 PM

Ahh, but the money is in the donkey and I can't see him getting it out in one piece. If he goes to a shop and tries to pay with money from inside a donkey he'd be kicked out, so the money is worthless to him.

This is true. There's also the remote possibility of purging that donkey, cleaning the money, and not telling the shop keep that it's barf bills.

umm.... wouldnt a surgery take place then? to get the money out of ther... O.o

Leave it until the money comes out the other end. Then burn what is left. Problem solved.

Kill the donkey, both parties eat it and hope that the 'rich' food doesn't disagree with them.....

FanEAW · 10-27-2009, 09:57 AM

donkey meant (cooked) is actually pretty good! but to go through all the process of eating a donkey just to get a couple of bucks back? O.O
