The intro 

(Listening Comprehension)

Howdy! It's Mr.Wong speaking. I've got a story for you guys to prove that rednecks(居于美国乡村的乡下人) are really smart, here we go:

A man bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. On the following morning, the farmer drove up and said, "I've got some bad news for you. The donkey died." "Well then, just give me my money back." "Well I sure as hell can't do that. I spent it on booze and a couple packs of cigarettes, all gone." replied the farmer.

"Alright, just unload the donkey right there." "What're you gonna do with him?" asked the farmer. "I'm gonna raffle him off."(raffle - 乡村的抽奖游戏) "Ya can't raffle off a dead donkey!" exclaimed the farmer. "Hehehe, well sure I can. You watch me. I just won't tell anyone he's dead."

A month later the farmer met up with the guy and asked about what happened with the dead donkey. "Hehe,hehe, I told you I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2 a piece and made a profit of $898, well ain't that something?" "Well you done diddly do dah did it now!(乡下人说的乡下话，大家不必查字典) Ain't no one complain or anything?" asked the farmer. "Uhh, Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2 back."

Ahh man, you guys got the joke right? I told you they were smart. Alright, let's talk about the phrase of the day which is "go off without a hitch", let's check it out!
