A Clever Kid Offered ‘All You Can Drink for 10 Cents.’ His Logic Was Flawless.
A clever little neighborhood kid decided to set up a lemonade stand right on his front lawn. To beat out the local competition, he put up a massive, eye-catching sign that read: “ALL YOU CAN DRINK FOR A DIME!”
Before long, a businessman strolled past, caught sight of the sign, and smiled. Thinking he had just stumbled upon the bargain of the century, he handed the kid a shiny dime. The boy smiled politely and handed the man a single paper cup of lemonade.
The man tossed it back in one big gulp, wiped his mouth, and said, “Wow, that’s actually delicious. Fill ‘er up, I’ll have another!”
The kid held out his hand. “That’ll be another dime, mister.”
The man stopped, looking annoyed. “Now, wait just a minute, kid. Your sign clearly states ‘all I can drink for a dime.'”
The boy nodded calmly. “But you just drank that whole cup, didn’t you?”
“Yeah, I did.”
“Well,” the kid smiled, “that’s all you can drink for a dime.”
