The boy of ten was sipping his favorite strawberry

The boy of ten was sipping his favorite strawberry soda at McDonalds

when his pal strolled in. The boy looked up from the drink

and said, “Thought you were over

at Jenny’s house.”


“I’m through with girls,” the other said, “after all,

a dime a dozen.”


“You mean it?” – the boy again halted his

sipping. “A dime

a dozen? Gee whiz. And all this time, I’ve been

spending my money on sodas.”
