A young boy enters a barbershop and the barber whispers to
his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch
while I prove it to you."
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters
in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do
you want, son?"
The boy takes the quarters and leaves.
"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never
learns!"
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy
coming out of the ice cream store. "Hey, son! May I ask you
a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the
dollar bill?"
The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take
the dollar, the game's over!"
