Wish I was this quick

THE HAIRCUT

A young boy had just received his driver's permit and asked 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, 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 didn't get 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 that they all walked
everywhere they went?'

That's a good one! I'll have to recall that one when my boys want to drive, foreseeing a hair length issue.
