Long Hair


A young boy had just gotten his driver's license and  inquired of his father, if they could discuss his use  of the car.

His father said he'd make a deal with his  son.


"You bring your grades up from a C to a B  average, study your Bible a little,  get your hair cut  and we'll talk about the car."

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


After about six weeks his father said,

"Son, I've been  real proud. You  brought your grades up and I've  observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm real disappointed you haven't gotten your hair  cut."


The young man paused a moment 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."

To this his father replied, "Did you also notice they  all walked  everywhere they went? "
