Posted in 1959, with the first repost following in '62. Reddit wasn't as popular back then so you'd have a good few years without seeing the same things repeated.

Ah, when ice cream tasted like ice cream.

I’m a special education teacher and I’ve heard that joke from students but it was about people thinking that the boy was stupid because he was in special ed.

I’m pretty sure it’s a canary, but I’ll ask this weekend.

First and reposted ? Hmmm...

Nah, just tone it down on trying to convince girls how cool your BMW 320i is.

If you're a Kochsucker, you want the guy to have a Mike Rowe penis.

Good one but names should be capitalized. Le Hee Hoo.

The joke is OP thinks we give a shit

Basically, the boy is aware that the barber believes he is dumb, so he continues to choose the two quarters over the dollar bill in order to trick the barber into continuing to show other customers how 'dumb' the boy is. If he chooses the dollar, then the barber will stop handing him money since he would no longer appear dumb to the barber and the other customers. The boy is actually quite smart.

This is a very common type of joke, where there is a dumb person who thinks they are smart but the other person appears dumb but is actually smart

Coz the day he starts licking the ice cream, it melts and the game is over.

The boy is acting like he doesn't know the value of the dollar or the quarter so that the barber can keep giving him quarters. Let's say this game has been going on for a month every day, the boy would have made 30 quarters which is 7 dollars and 50 cents in total because all he did daily was to choose the quarter over the dollar. Now if he just picked the dollar, then the barber would have understood that the boy isn't actually dumb and hence he'd stop trying to prove to everyone that he's dumb by telling him to choose between the quarter and the dollar. PS I tried my best to break it down idk if you're still confused 😪

Not my favorite joke, but it's a solid #2

Ooooooh, thanks for the explanation

The barber thinks the boy is dumb for choosing quarters over a dollar, because he thinks he can’t do math. But the boy is taking quarters on purpose because he wants the barber to think he’s dumb, so he can keep getting free quarters from the barber forever. So who’s the real dumb one here

I knew where you were coming from. I was joking too and just capitalising on your wit. Hope you know the jurisdiction part was all Bull. And that Bull also means a lie.

I have heard this joke a million times, I still don't get it. Can anyone tell me what it means?

They don't know how to use the seashells
