A teenage boy, having just passed his driving test, asked his father when they might talk about using the car.
His father proposed a deal: ‘Raise your grades from a C to a B average, put in some time studying your Bible, and get your hair cut. Then we can discuss the car.’
The boy contemplated this for a bit, decided to accept the offer, and they reached an agreement.
Approximately six weeks later, the father remarked, ‘Son, you’ve improved your grades and I’ve noticed you’ve been studying your Bible, but I must say I’m disappointed that you still haven’t cut your hair.’
In response, the boy explained, ‘You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about it, and according to my Bible study, Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair… and there’s even significant evidence suggesting Jesus had long hair.’
To this, Dad replied:
‘Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?’
