The Boy and the Barber

A young boy enters a barber shop, and the barber whispers to his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."

The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?" The boy takes the quarters and leaves.

"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream parlor.

"Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?"

The boy licked his cone and replied:

"Because the day I take the dollar the game is over!"

Explanation

Experiment

The barber thinks the boy is dumb for taking the quarters instead of the dollar, not realizing the boy is actually smart and is intentionally choosing the quarters to keep the game going for longer. He knows that if he takes the dollar, the barber will not offer him the choice anymore.

Lmao..how to you keep an idiot in suspense?

Until the kid takes the dollar.

The old man is always wondering why he doesn't take the dollar, why he hasn't learned, or why the kid insists on wanting $.50 instead of the $1 - meanwhile that kid continues to hustle the barber because the barbers the one who actually "never learns".
