There's a little fellow named Junior who hangs out at the local Grocery Store. The owner 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 it's because it's bigger. One day after Junior grabbed the nickel, the store owner took him off to one side and said, "Junior, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don't know that 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!"
