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!"
