The Haircut

A young boy had just got his driver's permit and inquired of his father
if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal
with his son.

'You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little
and get your hair cut; and we'll talk about the car. The boy thought about
that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, 'Son I've been real proud. You
brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying
your Bible but I'm real disappointed you haven't gotten your hair cut.'

The young man paused a moment then said 'You know, Dad I've been thinking
about that and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long
hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair and there's
even a strong argument that Jesus had long hair.'

To this his father replied 'Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?'

This reminds me of an old law office joke:

An articled clerk left the office to have a haircut.

On his return he was met by the senior partner who noticed both that the clerk's hair had been cut and that it was during office hours.

Senior partner: "Have you just had a haircut?"

Articled clerk: "Yes."

Senior partner: "During office hours?"

Articled clerk: "Well, it grew during office hours."

Senior partner: " Not all of it!"

Articled clerk: "Well, I didn't have all that cut off!"

Needless to say, in the fullness of time, the articled clerk became a solicitor and then a partner in the firm and eventually the senior partner.

Sorta reminds me of a story I had heard years back from when a old army WO1 was inspecting a platoon of trainees during morning parade. when he asked one of them if he was hurting him. The confused cadet said no sir and the WO1 belowed back well I bloody well aught to be because I'm standing on your hair.

Straight from the Sergeant Major's book of useful phrases.

My nephew started work for a Real Estate agent. After a couple of weeks he told my nephew he'd better get a hair cut. On his return the agent told him he'd better go back and do it properly this time.
