Green's Gourmet Grocery

A customer at Green's Gourmet Grocery marveled at the
proprietor's quick wit and intelligence.

"Tell me, Green, what makes you so smart?"

"I wouldn't share my secret with just anyone," Green
replies, lowering his voice so the other shoppers won't
hear. "But since you're a good and faithful customer, I'll
let you in on my secret: Fish heads. You eat enough of them,
you'll be positively brilliant."

"You sell them here?" the customer asks.

"Only $4 apiece," says Green.

The customer buys three. A week later, he's back in the
store complaining that the fish heads were disgusting and he
isn't any smarter.

"You didn't eat enough of them," says Green. The customer
goes home with 20 more fish heads. Two weeks later, he's
back and this time he's really angry.

"Hey, Green," he says, "you're selling me fish heads for $4
apiece when I can buy the whole fish for $2. You're ripping
me off!"

"You see?" says Green. "You're smarter already."
