A country guy visits New York City for the first time. He’s staring up at a tall skyscraper, quietly counting the floors.

A New Yorker notices and says, “Hey, buddy — around here, it’s a dollar for every floor you count.”

“Ten,” the country guy says, handing over $10.

The New Yorker smirks and walks off.

A moment later, the country guy chuckles to himself and says, “Joke’s on him… I counted twenty.”
