A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it you”.
The barber puts a dollar in one hand and two 25 cent pieces in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, “Which do you want, son?”
The boy takes the 50 cents 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 50 cents instead of the dollar?”
The boy licked his cone and replied, “Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!”
