He used to carry a newspaper and when questioned he would say he carried it so people would THINK he could read.
So maybe he wasn’t quite as dumb as we thought. Or was he?

There was an old cartoon character called "Denny Dimwit". People made fun of his "stupidity" all the time. The favorite trick was to hold out two hands and offer Denny a dime or a nickle. Denny took the nickle every time.

Some kind-hearted soul took Denny aside and told him the dime was worth more than the nickle, even though the nickel was larger, so why did he keep making that choice?

Denny replied, "How many time do you think they'd do that if I took the dime?"

I do remember Denny Dimwit.
Winnie Winkle was my first ‘true love’ <: <: <:

I believe it was an old ‘Spiritual’ Preacher - Daddy Grace- that used to tell his following to save those hard earned paper money, just give me the change in your pocket....

Naturally everone knows coins are ‘worthless’.....ha ha

(Every try just dumping your pockets and put the change in a jar every night?...especially in the pre ‘debit card’ world where we actually traded in REAL money...)
