Dumb and Dumber?

Dumb and Dumber?

Or Not?



A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to a customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."
The barber puts a five dollar bill in one hand and
four 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 the barber shop, he sees the same young boy coming out of an ice cream store.
"Hey, son! May I ask you a question?
Why did you take the quarters instead of the five dollar bill?" he asked.
The boy licked his cone and replied,” Because the day I take the five dollars, the game's over.”
***********************
So why do I feel so dumb?
I have had so many problems with posting with Blogger and getting spacing correct.
Sometimes it works and most times it does not (like in this post.)
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
Or is it a Blogger problem?

I enjoyed your humotous story. I'm constantly looking for stories like that to retell in verse form. May I use it? You may be interested to learn, also, that my Probus Choir sings 'Teddy Bear's Picnic' to the Old Folk! We bring our teddies with us and the patients like to cuddle them. So you see Australia isn't ALL rugged and manly! I've only just started Blogging. You can find me at 'Rinkly Rimes'.

That is a cute story! I have spacing issues sometimes, too. So let's call it a Blogger problem.

Loved the joke, and thanks.
I think bloggers editing is a bit of a problem. It does not let me double space after the period at sentence end. I was always taught and always use this rule. blogger will not for some reason.

Perhaps you have to try a different template setup. That helped my issues most of the time.
I love your story and those bears are just darling.

That's a good one. :)

Yeah, I have problems with Blogger like that all the time. Some days I can post photos and others I can't. There's just no reason.

LOL, cute story!

I see more blogger posts with wonky spacing...so I don't think it's you.

The kid shouldn't have confessed. =P

Love the cones, couldn't stop smiling when I saw them. I'll have the vanilla! =D

Oh yes, I get problems with spacing too, in fact; all the time. It gets so bad sometimes I quit the post to redo it again.
