Simply
Amazing...
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
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
$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."
