The Haircut

Subject: Haircut
A young boy had just gotten his driver's permit and inquired of hisfather, an evangelist, if they could discuss his use of the car. His fathersaid I'll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up from a C to aB average, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut and we'll talkabout the car."Well, the boy thought about that for a moment, and decided that he'dsettle for the offer, and they agreed on it. After about six weeks theywent into the study, where his father said, "Son, I've been real proud. Youbrought your grades up, and I've observed that you have been studying yourBible, and participating a lot more in the Bible study groups. But, I'm realdisappointed, since you haven't gotten your hair cut."The young man paused a moment, and then said, "You know, Dad, I'vebeen thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible thatSamson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hairand there's even a strong argument that Jesus had long hair."To this his father replied, "Did you also notice that they all walkedeverywhere they went?"
