A teenage boy had just gotten his driver's license and
inquired of his father if they could discuss his use of the
car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son.
"You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a
little, and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about the car."
The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd
settle for the offer, and they agreed on it. After about
six weeks his father said, "Son, you've brought your grades up and I've
observed that you have been studying your Bible, but
I'm disappointed you haven't gotten your hair cut."
The boy said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking
about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long
hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair ... and there's even strong
evidence that Jesus had long hair."
To this his father replied, "Did you also notice they
all walked everywhere they went?" :hat
