Harvey was having his hair cut in a barber shop when a young boy entered the shop.
The barber said to Harvey in a very low voice, "This is the silliest kid
in the world. Watch while I show it to you." The barber put a dollar bill
in one hand and two quarters(25美分) in the other, then called the boy over and asked, "Which do
you want, son?" The boy took the quarters and left. "What did I tell
you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"
Later, when Harvey left, he saw the same
young boy coming out of an ice cream store. "Hey, son! May I ask you a
question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?" The
boy ate his ice cream and replied, "Because the day I take the dollar, the
game's over!
