There's a little fellow named Junior who hangs out at Tim Alley's Grocery
Store. The owner Tim doesn't know what Junior's problem is, but the boys
like to tease him. They say he is two bricks shy of a load, or two pickles
shy of a barrel. To prove it, sometimes they offer Junior his choice
between a nickel and a dime. He always takes the nickel, they say, because
it's bigger. One day after Junior grabbed the nickel, Tim got him off to
one side and said, "Junior, 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?" Junior said, "Well, if I took the
dime, they'd quit doing it!"
