Strategic Game "Smart is Dumb"
A businessman was
talking with his barber, when they both noticed
a goofy-looking fellow bouncing down the
sidewalk. The barber whispered, "That's Tommy,
one of the stupidest kids you'll ever meet.
Here, I'll show you."
"Hey Tommy! Come
here!" yelled the barber. Tommy came bouncing
over "Hi Mr. Williams!" The barber pulled out a
rusty dime and a shiny quarter and told Tommy he
could keep the one of his choice. Tommy looked
long and hard at the dime and quarter and then
quickly snapped the dime from the barber's hand.
The barber looked at the businessman and said,
"See, I told you."
After his haircut,
the businessman caught up with Tommy and asked
him why he chose the dime.
Tommy looked at
him in the eye and said, "If I take the quarter,
the game is over."
