My maternal grandfather was told one once as a boy (in
Evansville, IN) and he remembered it all of his life. I
sometimes use it now. He was playing with 2 other boys one
day as a youth and they were pretty much acting the fools
as boys sometimes do. A stranger came along and looked at
them shaking his head as he said: "One boy is a boy. Two
boys are half a boy. Three boys are no boy at all".
The stranger did pretty well since telling a boy something
once that he will remember for life is quite a job...
