In New York City, a Scotsman and an American were discussing how far each could make a dime go. They agreed to meet up again a few days later to see who had got the most out of a dime. The Scotsman revealed how he had bought a cigar with his dime. He had smoked one-third of the cigar the first day and saved the ashes. He smoked another third the second day and saved the ashes. On the third day, he smoked the final third and again saved the ashes, and on the fourth day he gave the ashes to his wife to use as fertilizer on her roses. He told the American proudly: "How's that for stretching a dime!" The American said: "Very good, but I got you beat. I bought a Polish sausage for a dime, and the first day I ate half of it. On the second day, I ate the other half. The third day, I used the skin for a condom, and the fourth day I took a shit in the skin and sewed it back up. The fifth day, I took it back to the butcher and told him it smelled like shit. He agreed with me and gave me my dime back!"
