Nickle or Dime
There’s a little fellow named Junior who hangs out at Tim Alley’s Grocery Store. The owner Tim doesn’t know what Junior’s problem is, but the boys like to tease him. They say he is two bricks shy of a load, or two pickles shy of a barrel. To prove it, sometimes they offer Junior his choice between a nickel and a dime.
He always takes the nickel, they say, because it’s bigger. One day after Junior grabbed the nickel, Tim got him off to one side and said, “Junior, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don’t know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it’s bigger, or what?”
Junior said, “Well, if I took the dime, they’d quit doing it!”

Do you really not understand this??? They are making fun of him because he keeps taking the nickel over the dime. They think he is stupid, but really he is not. He is a lot smarter than they think he is. They keep offering him the nickel or the dime because they are enjoying making fun of him. ACTUALLY THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE STUPID!! THEY ARE GIVING AWAY FREE MONEY!!! IF THE LITTLE BOY ACCEPTED THE DIME, THEY WOULD NOT THINK HE IS STUPID AND THEY WOULD QUIT THEIR LITTLE GAME. ACTUALLY THE LITTLE BOY IS HAVING HIS OWN LAUGH AT THEIR EXPENSE!!! HOW CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT?????

They are giving him free money everyday, if he took the dime then they would think he got smarter and stop giving him money, but instead they think he’s the stupid one even though they are giving their money to him.
