A customer at Green's Gourmet Grocery marvelled at the proprietor's quick
wit and intelligence.

"Tell me, Green, what makes you so smart?"

"I wouldn't share my secret with just anyone," Green replies, lowering his
voice so the other shoppers won't hear. "But since you're a good and
faithful customer, I'll let you in on it. Fish heads. You eat enough of
them, you'll be positively brilliant."

"You sell them here?" the customer asks.

"Only £4 apiece," says Green.

The customer buys three. A week later, he's back in the store complaining
that the fish heads were disgusting and he isn't any smarter.

"You didn't eat enough, " says Green. The customer goes home with a dozen
more fish heads. Two weeks later, he's back and this time he's really
angry.

"Hey, Green," he says, "You're selling me fish heads for £4 a piece when I
can buy the whole fish for £2.50. You're ripping me off!"

"You see?" says Green. "You're smarter already."
