A boy had just passed his driving license. He asked his father, who was a pastor, if they could have a chat about about him using the car.
The father said:
“I’ll make you a deal. Improve your grades, read the Bible a little, and get your hair cut — then we’ll talk about it.”
A month later the boy came back and asked again about him using the car. His father said:
“Son, I’m really proud of you. You’ve improved your grades, you’ve been reading the Bible diligently — but, here’s the thing, you haven’t had your hair cut.”
The young man paused for a moment and replied:
“You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking. Samson had long hair. Moses had long hair. Noah had long hair. Even Jesus had long hair.”
His father answered:
“Yes, my son. Indeed they did. And, like yourself, they walked everywhere.”
