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.”
