A businessman was talking with his barber, when they both noticed a goofy-looking kid bouncing down the sidewalk. The barber whispered, "That's Johnnie, one of the stupidest kids you'll ever meet. Here, I'll show you." "Hey Johnnie! Come here!" yelled the barber. Johnnie came bouncing over "Hello Sir!" The barber pulled out a rusty dime and a shiny quarter and told Johnnie he could keep the one of his choice. Johnnie looked long and hard at the dime and quarter and then quickly snapped the dime from the barber's hand. The barber looked at the businessman and said, "See, I told you." After his haircut, the businessman caught up with Johnnie and asked him why he chose the dime. Johnnie looked at him in the eye and said, "If I take the quarter, the game is over." |
