"Among other things, although he was incapable of standing, he threatened to kill everyone with a chainsaw. Nobody paid the slightest attention to his ramblings. They’d all seen such behaviour in the middle of Southport before." Keith Woods, Digital Editor of the Gold Coast Bulletin, in a recent editorial.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 5 dollar bill in one hand and two 2-dollar coins in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, “Which do you want, son?” The boy takes the coins 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 coins instead of the 5-dollar bill?”
The boy licked his cone and replied:
“Because the day I take the bill, the game is over!”
