Game theory joke on being dumb

Mind Your Decisions reader Scott sent me the following joke which offers a unique perspective about being dumb. Enjoy!

The dumbest kid in the world

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 store.

“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!”

    Dumb Kid. Perfect choice for a name. It’s a joke. Nobody gives a f*** what you would have done in the situation.

    Jesus, you people didn’t get Dumb Kid’s joke.
    I wouldn’t want to explain it to you. Go back and see if you can get it; if not, move on.

    What really makes kids dumber is reading comments on the interent.

    Many years ago, it was a dime and a nickel. Now it’s a dollar and two quarters. Ten years from now it will be a Yuan and two euros.
