Fun with worms

A little hairless ape boy is raking leaves in his yard while his elderly grandfather watches. He sees a worm exit a hole in the ground and says to his grandfather “I’ll bet you $20 that I can put that worm back in the hole.” The grandfather is skeptical but feels he should indulge the precocious little ape.

The boy runs into the house to fetch hairspray. Then he sprays the worm ‘til it is stiff as a board. This makes it easy to shove the worm back into the hole. Impressed, the grandfather forks over $20. However, he does ask the child to give him the hairspray.

Two hours later the grandfather gives his genius grandson another $20. Of course, the young ape is an honest, upstanding child that does not wish to disrespect his elder so he says “But grandpa, you already gave me the $20 for that bet.”

The elder ape says “I remember. That $20 is from grandma”
