[Steve]

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, "This
kid is not so bright. 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 the dollar.

"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the
ice cream store and says, "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's over!"
