Close Shave

    After 20 years of shaving himself every morning, a man in a small Southern town decided he'd had enough. He told his wife that he intended to let the local barber shave him each day from now on. He put on his hat and coat and went to the barber shop, which was owned by the pastor of the Baptist church. The barber's wife, Grace, was working that day, so she preformed the task. Grace shaved him and spayed him with lilac water and said, "That'll be $20.00". The man thought the bill was a bit high, but he paid it 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. "Not bad," he thought, "At least I don't need a shave everyday. "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 $20.00 was high for a shave," he told the barber's wife, "but you must have done a great job. It's been 2 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."
