THE STORY IS told of a father who took his two boys one afternoon to play miniature golf…

The father walked up to the man at the ticket counter and said, “How much is it to get in?”  The young man replied, “Three dollars for you and three dollars for any kid who is older than six.  We let them in for free if they are six or younger.  How old are your two?”  The father replied, “This one is three and the other one is seven, so I owe you $6.00.”

The young man at the ticket counter said, “Hey mister, did you just win the lottery or something?  You could have saved yourself three bucks if you would have told me that the older one was six; I wouldn’t have known the difference.”

The father replied, “Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference…”  (Steve Higginbotham)
