The mail-boy from the Delta Police was going into the nearby RCMP detachment to pick up the daily memos. The RCMP sergeant at the desk was talking to a visiting FBI man, and he said "Watch this. This kid from the Delta force is the stupidest kid in the world."
As the boy reached for the envelope full of memos, the RCMP sergeant held out both hands, palms up. One hand had a looney in it and the other had two quarters. "You can have the money in whichever hand you pick", said the sergeant. The boy picked the two quarters and left the station with the memos he had come for.
The FBI man finished his sympathy talk with the sergeant (about the loaded gun the sergeant had left on the ferry), left the station and saw the boy paying for an ice cream cone at a curbside vendor. He went up to the boy and asked "Why did you take the two quarters instead of the dollar?"
"If I ever take the dollar, the game will over", he replied, "and so far I've made over three hundred bucks".
