Yes, because the ice cream was melting, so he had to lick it off the cone so he wouldn’t lose it.

... You'd have ice cream cones for the rest of your life.

And I'm just sitting here wondering where in the world does he get an ice cream cone for two quarters 😂

Licking the ice cream cone the whole thing is described as his cone. Why single out cone from the cream?

Lactose, fat, and sugar-free.

But is it vegan?

Not for two quarters, the vegan one is 2.50

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

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

Ooooooh, thanks for the explanation

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 😪

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

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

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.

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.

Ah, when ice cream tasted like ice cream.

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 i see this month's repost of the joke is now complete. I can rest easy now.

I think it's a unit of measure. Like having a slice. The word slice encompasses the entire food.

I set a reminder for myself to repost this in February.

Although the boy DOES lick the cone, and not the ice cream itself?
