this story bothering to me as all say is funny but I am not understanding joke. I am thinking I am dumb Latvian country man, and this is Amerikan humor. But I also trade farm animals and story seems strange, so I study Enron.

If TASS is to be trusted, Enron go out of business as they have funny numbers in book keepers. They are lie about profits, no?

This story showing Kenny is doing same when young boy? he is saying he make profit of USD 998$ but I am seeing profits of USD 898$

My cousin is in university at Kiev and helping me to figure these numbers.

Kenny is paying USD 100$ - he is selling 500 tickets at USD 2$ this is being USD 1.000$ less USD 100$ meaning USD 900$ profit.
If he is returning USD 2$ to one man this is being USD 898$ profit.

I am thinking he is saying stories to man with donkey, or my farm is losing many profits.

is someone that can tell me why he is saying USD 998$ profit but his story shows USD 898$ I will love to understand Amerikan humor

I thank who is helping me with this story
