Young Boy Is Called An Idiot At The Hair Salon

Most of us think of children, especially younger children, as innocent and maybe a bit naive about how the world really works.

In a way, that perceived vulnerability adds to their charm and it can sometimes lead to some pretty funny situations. That’s what happens in this joke about a little boy who is being picked on by a mean-spirited barber.

At first, it seems as though the barber his having a good laugh at the child’s expense, but as we learn, not everything is as it seems.

One day, a seemingly poor boy, carrying a limp and wearing nothing but dirty clothes, entered a crowded salon. As he did, the barber bent down to one of his customers and whispered in his ear.

He said: “That kid is the most stupid child in the whole city! Just wait, I’ll show you.”

The hairdresser retrieved a note from his pocket, one worth $100. In the other hand, he held two single dollar bills.

He then said to the boy: “Here, boy, pick a hand. Which one do you want?”

The youngster judged both hands carefully, before settling on the two dollar bills.

“Haha, what did I tell you?” the barber laughed. He turned and gave his customer a broad smile as the boy left.

“That idiot never learns.”

A short while later, the customer left the shop and went out into the street.

There, he spotted the kid sitting in an ice-cream shop just down the road.

Thinking something wasn’t quite right, the customer entered the ice cream parlour and said: “Hello, young man, I have a question for you. Why do you always take the dollar bills and not the $100?”

The boy took a break from enjoying his ice cream, sat up straight with a smile on his face and replied: “The day I take the $100 is the day this game ends.”
