A Shaving Funny
After twenty years of shaving himself every morning,
a man in a small Southern town decided he had enough. He
told his wife that he intended to let the local barber
shave him each day. He put on his hat and coat and went
to the barber shop, which was owned by the pastor of the
town's Baptist church. The barber's wife, Grace, was
working that day, so she performed the task. Grace
shaved him and sprayed him with lilac water and said,
"That will be $20." The man thought the price was a bit
high, but he paid the bill and went to work. The next
morning the man looked in the mirror and his face was as
smooth as it had been when he left the barber shop the
day before. "Not bad," he thought, "At least I don't
need to get a shave every day." The next morning the
man's face was still smooth! Two weeks later the man was
STILL unable to find any trace of whiskers on his face.
It was more than he could take, so he returned to the
barber shop. "I thought $20 was high for a shave," he
told the barber's wife, "but you must have done a great
job. It's been two weeks and my whiskers still haven't
started growing back." The expression on her face didn't
even change, expecting his comment. She responded, "You
were shaved by Grace. Once shaved, always
shaved." |
