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?

you may have swayed me there! I think I have some sausages in the freezer, so I might just join you in a virtual sunday-sausage-sandwich.

the buyer should take the donkey, and for the next few days gather up all of the dung it produces then hand it to the seller, as that is where the sellers money will be.
next time, pay in pennies, sure it'll annoy the fk out of the people behind you in the queue but i'm sure you can see the advantages.

That would be just after they remove one hoof from the donkey.

It says in the article the donkey ate the money while both men were still negotiating a price, therefore assuming a price was never agreed upon I say its the buyers loss--he should have been watching his own tender.

If there was no price there was no contract and no exchange of consideration. The Seller owns the Donkey, the buyer is an a** for leaving his cash near the donkey.

Fans of Star Trek: TNG perhaps? They love a bit of Geordi La Forge!
