Shaved By Grace
« on: December 14, 2007, 04:37:06 PM »
After five years of headshaving 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 $25"

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 head 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 head was still smooth. Two weeks later, the man was still unable to find any trace of whiskers on his head. It was more than he could take, so he returned to the barber shop. "I thought $25 was high for a "headshave", 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."

Frost, that's gonna be some long road trip. I suggest you first take a plane
to Atlanta. Then we'll be able meet up for warhark and journey on over to Grace's Place. I hear that she has a down home "southern potion" going on in the Lilac Water that she uses.
