Long-haired Driver?

    A young boy had just gotten his driving permit.  He asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss his use of the car.  His father said to him, “I’ll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up, study your Bible a little more, and get your hair cut -- then we will talk about it.”

    A month later the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss his use of the car.  His father said, “Son, I’m real proud of you.  You have brought your grades up, you’ve studied your Bible diligently -- but you didn’t get hair cut!”

    The young man waited a moment and replied, “You know, Dad -- I’ve been thinking about that.  You know Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair.”

    And his father replied, “Yes, son -- and they walked everywhere they went!”
