A GOOD CLEAN COIN JOKE

Bob Johnson forwarded the following coin-related joke
from the Good Clean Funnies List (Good Clean Funnies List ):

There was a little boy named Johnny who used to hang
out at the local corner market. The owner didn't know
what Johnny's problem was, but the boys would constantly
tease him.

They would always comment that he was two bricks shy
of a load or two pickles short of a barrel. To prove it,
sometimes they would offer Johnny his choice between
a nickel (5 cents) and a dime (10 cents) and Johnny
would always take the nickel (they said) because it was
bigger.

One day after Johnny grabbed the nickel, the store
owner took him aside and said "Johnny, 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?"

With a big grin on his face, Johnny slowly turned
toward the store owner. "Well," he answered, "If I
took the dime, they'd stop doing it, and so far I've
saved $20!"
