Dad Has a Point

A young boy had just gotten his driver's permit and inquired of his father, an evangelist, if they could discuss his use of the car. His father took him into his study and said to the boy, "I'll make a deal with you, son. You bring your grades up from a C to a B, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut, then we'll talk about the car."

Well, the boy thought about that for a moment, and decided that he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks, the boy came back and again asked his father about using the car. Again, they went to the study, where his father said, "Son , I've been real proud of you. You've brought your grades up, and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, and participating a lot more in the Bible study class on Sunday morning. But, I'm real disappointed, since you haven't gotten your hair cut."

The young man paused a moment, and then 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 a strong argument that Jesus had long hair."

His father replied, "You're right, son. Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?"

*sigh* there's always one isn't there? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The son had to cut his hair to be allowed to drive. He was trying to say that all the famous people in tbe Bible had long hair so he should be allowed to as well. Then his father pointed out that they all walked everywhere as well implying that they weren't allowed to drive either BECAUSE they had long hair. Bleh. A joke's always spoiled when you have to explain.

hehe, I think that the father should have told the son straight what he had in mind instead of going in a big circle. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
