The "Stupid" boy
A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer
,This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two 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, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.
Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?
The boy licked his cone and replied, Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!

I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

Re: The "Stupid" boy
Or should it be called the stupid barber?

Re: The "Stupid" boy
You still have barbers there? Here they are called stylist so they can charge 5 times as much.

Re: The "Stupid" boy
We have stylists here too. But we (atleast I) do not go for them. My last haircut was done by a barber for Rupees 20.

Re: The "Stupid" boy
It looks good but you still need a shave.
I learned how to cut hair so I did my whole family for many years and myself.

Re: The "Stupid" boy
.In Vietnam they charge around 2USD per good haircut. Charge for children is half, and they charge hairwashing separately. Shaving is free bonus if asked for.

Re: The "Stupid" boy
It is a way different condition. I live in the part of the suburbs than is in transition. I live in administrative Hanoi, which includes several countryside and mountainous area. I live in Ha Dong, an urban district, but it used to be capital for a separate province, and even now it's still not considered a 'central' area by businessmen. But they plan to be, and the whole district is full of contruction sites, new urban communities and new roads. Luckily the economic crisis and the freeze of the real estate market slowed the growth.

Re: The "Stupid" boy
No. This joke has been there for years, with the variation about the American president who, while was a child, was asked by people to choose between a nickel and a dime. A dime worth twice but it's smaller than a nickel. The president constantly chose the nickel, and when one traveller asks him why, he said he was investing for the long term.
That is just the variation told in vietnam since the 80s.

And i watched ashiqui 2,the ending was sad
