Joke of the Week #91

Dopey Dan is visiting the beach for the first time, carrying a bucket in one hand. He walks up to the lifeguard and inquires, "Excuse me please, Ma'am. How much does a bucket of water cost?"

The lifeguard decides to have some fun with him and says, "Twenty-five cents. Please take as much as you like."

"Thanks!" Dan replies, upon which he traipses down to the shore, fills up the bucket, then hands the lifeguard a quarter.

As evening falls, it's lowtide; observing the ebbing tide, Dan turns to the lifeguard and says, "Boy, looks like you've certainly had some business day!"
