Who's the Dummy?

There's a little fellow named Junior who hangs out at Tim Alley's Grocery Store. The owner, Tim, 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, because it's bigger. One day after Junior grabs the nickel, Tim gets him off to one side and says, "Junior, 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?"

Junior says, "Well, if I took the dime, they'd quit doing it!"
