A crusty old man went into the bank and asked for $250.00 in ones and fives. As the line behind him grew, the teller laboriously counted out the money and passed it over.

The old man said, "I believe I'll count that myself." As the line stretched out the door, he slowly counted the money a second time.

"Well," said the teller when he finished, "it's all there, isn't it?"

"Yes," answered the old man, "but just barely."
