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!"
