Here's one you can even use in church
THE BARBER
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 Baptist Church. The barber's wife, Grace,
was working, 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."
