STAYING POWER


An Italian and a Jew were arguing over which one could make a dime go further. So they decided to get together later in the week and compare.

So when the did, the Jew goes first. He says: "I took my dime and bought a cigarette. The first day, I smoked half and saved the ashes. The second day, I smoked the other half and saved the ashes. The third day, I ate the butt and fertilized my plant with the ashes I saved.

The Italian replies: "That's nothing! I took my dime and bought a sausage. The first day, I scooped out half and ate it. The second day, I scooped out the other half and ate it. The third day, I took a $hit in the empty casing, took it back to the store and said 'This sausage smells like $hit' and got my dime back!"
