Harvey was having his hair cut in a barber shop when a young boy entered the shop. The barber said to Harvey in a very low voice, "This is the silliest kid in the world. Watch while I show it to you." The barber put a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters(25美分) in the other, then called the boy over and asked, "Which do you want, son?"
