The Boy And the Barber

[Yaqub H]

"The Boy And The Barber"

A young boy enters the barber shop and
Bill 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?" whispers the barber.
"That kid never learns! He's got to be the
dumbest kid in the world."

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 licked his cone and replied,
"Because the day I take the dollar, the
game is over!"
