A BIT OF HUMOR

A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a modest home in the summer near a 
junior high school. He spent the first few weeks of his retirement in peace and 
contentment. 

Then a new school year began. The very next afternoon three young boys full of 
youthful afterschool enthusiasm came down his street beating merrily on every 
trash can they encountered. The crashing percussion continued day after day, 
until finally the wise old man decided it was time to take some action. 

The next afternoon, he walked out to meet the young percussionists as they 
banged their way down the street. Stopping them, he said, "You kids are a lot of 
fun. I like to see you express your exuberance like that. I used to do the same 
thing when I was your age. Will you do me a favor? I'll give you each a dollar 
if you'll promise to come around every day and do your thing." 

The kids were elated and continued to do a bang-up job on the trash cans. A few 
days later, the wily retiree approached them again as they drummed their way 
down the street. "Look" he said, "I haven't received my Social Security 
(pension) check yet, so I'm not going to be able to give you more than 25 cents. 
Will that be okay?" 

"A lousy quarter?!" the drum leader exclaimed. "If you think we're going to 
waste our time beating these cans around for a quarter, you're nuts! No way, 
mister. We quit!" 

And the old man enjoyed peace and serenity for the rest of his days.
