A teenager gets on a bus, pays his fare and sits down near the back. A couple of minutes into the ride, he feels a tap on his shoulder and turns round to see a little old lady holding out a handful of peanuts.
"Would you like some peanuts, young man?"
"Sure, why not?" He takes the peanuts, thanks her and turns around again.
A couple of minutes later, after he's eaten them, he feels another tap on the shoulder, and turns round to see the little old lady with another handful of peanuts.
"Would you like some more?"
"Well, okay," he says, not wishing to be rude, takes the peanuts and turns back round.
No sooner has he finished them, when there's another tap on the shoulder. He turns round and, sure enough, there's another handful of peanuts.
"Ma'm," he says, "I don't want to be rude, but ... well, how come you keep offering me your peanuts?"
"Oh, well, sonny," she grins. "I only like the chocolate coating."
