THE GOOD, CLEAN, OLD, OLD, JOKE

Bill Malkmus adds: "In the department of worthless additional
information, the joke (nickel vs. dime) forwarded from the
Good Clean Funnies List (gcfl.net) was recognized
as an old joke in my childhood, so certainly is way over 60
years old (and may date back to the introduction of the nickel,
as far as I know).

In a previous incarnation, the subject was a (grownup) denizen
of an asylum (lower-case). I guess in these politically correct
times, such an overt setting is no longer acceptable (although in
the current version, the young subject is still imputed to be in
the lower percentiles of the IQ ladder). But I guess that's OK;
someone has to be there.

Keep up the great work."
