An Italian and a Polack were discussing how far each could stretch a dime. They met several days later and exchanged results.

They Italian bought a cigar and smoked 1/3 the first day and saved the ashes. He smoked 1/3 the second day and saved the ashes. When the cigar was finished he gave the ashes to his wife to use as fertilizer. He told the Polack to beat that for stretching a dime.

The Polack bought a Polish sausage for his dime. The first day he ate half of it. The second day he ate the other half. The third day he used the skin for a rubber. The fourth day he took a shit in the skin and sewed it up, then he took it back to the butcher and told him it smelled like shit and got his dime back.

The butcher put it back in the case and sold it to the Italian for pepperoni.
