Reader's Digest 4月号 "9 Really Practical JOKES" からの引用です。
"See that kid?" a barber says to his customer during a haircut, pointing to a 12-year-old standing outside the barbershop. "He is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch. I'll prove it to you." The barber takes out a one-dollar bill and a five-dollar bill, then calls the boy inside. He holds out both bills and asks "Which one do you want?"
The kid takes the one-dollar bill and leaves the shop.
"See?" the barber says, laughing. "The dumbest kid in the world."
The customer leaves the barbershop and spots the boy coming out of an ice cream store. He says, "If you don't mind my asking, son, why didn't you take the five-dollar bill?"
The boy takes a lick of his ice cream cone and says, "Because the day I choose the five, the game is over."
