A businessman was talking with
his barber, when they both
noticed a goofy-looking fellow
bouncing down the sidewalk. The
barber whispered, "That's Tommy,
one of the stupidest kids you'll
ever meet. Here, I'll show you."
"Hey Tommy! Come here!" yelled the
barber. Tommy came bouncing over "Hi Mr. Williams!" The barber pulled out a
rusty dime and a shiny quarter and told Tommy he could keep the one of his
choice. Tommy 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 Tommy and asked him why he chose the dime.
Tommy looked at him in the eye and
said, "If I take the quarter, the game is over."
