Watermelon
Stand
Submitted by Steve Simard
Trevor is selling watermelons
at a small
farm stand on the side
of the road. He got all
of the ripe watermelons
set up and then
displayed his sign.
Trevor’s price list indicated
that you could
buy one watermelon
for $3, or three watermelons
for $10.
A man drove up to the
farm stand and saw
the price list. Amused,
he told Trevor, “I’d
like one watermelon,
please.”
Trevor sold the man
the watermelon and
took his $3.
Then, the man said,
“You know what, I
think I’ll buy a second
watermelon.” The man
handed Trevor three
more $1 bills.
The man loaded up
his car and then came
back and said, “Awww,
what the heck? I’ll buy
a third one.” He paid
another $3 and took
the watermelon.
“You know,” the man
said to Trevor, “you’re
not too bright. I just
bought three watermelons
and only paid $9
for them.”
“Well, you originally
were only going to buy
one and I ended up
selling you three, didn’t
I?”
