A Dollar Bill or Two Quarters

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 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?” says 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 licks his cone and replies,“Because the day I take the dollar,the game is over!”
