A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired
of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.
His father said he'd make a deal: 'You bring your grades up
from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair

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 had your hair cut.'

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.'
His father replied, 'Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?'
