A little girl walked into her grandmother’s kitchen, pointing excitedly at something outside the window. ‘Grammy,’ she said, ‘why does that bank have a giant smiley face painted on its door?’ The old lady smiled knowingly. 'Honey,' she replied, 'that's no ordinary smiley face. It's our friendly mascot, Mr. Happy Dollars. He waves to everyone who comes in!' The little girl looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. 'Mr. Happy Dollars?' she giggled. 'That explains why people keep going inside!'
