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 to you.”
The barber puts a quarter in one hand and two nickles in the other than calls the boy over and asks: “Which do you want, son?”
The boy takes the two nickles 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 next to an ice cream van.
“Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take two nickles instead of the quarter?”
The boy licked his ice cream cone and replied: “Because the day I take the quarter the game is over.”
