A young boy enters a barber’s shop and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the stupidest boy I’ve ever known. Watch, while I prove it to you.”
The barber then holds out a 2 pound coin in one hand and two 50p coins in the other hand. Calling the boy over, he asks, “Which do you want, son?”
The boy smiles, takes the two 50p coins, and leaves.
“What did I tell you?” said the barber. “He never learns.”
Later, when the customer leaves the barber’s shop, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream shop.
“Hey, son, can I ask you a question? Why did you take the two 50p coins instead of the 2 pound coin?”
The boy licked his ice-cream, smiled, and replied, “Because the day I take the 2 pound coin, the game is over.”
