The Long and the Short of It
A teenager just passed his driving test, so he asked his dad when he could use the car.
His dad replied, “When you bring your grades up, study your Bible, and get your hair cut, we’ll talk about the car.”
A few weeks later,the son asked again about using the car. His dad said, “You’ve brought your grades up, you’ve studied the Bible, but you still haven’t cut your hair!”
His son replied, “In the Bible, Moses, Samson, John the Baptist, and even Jesus had long hair!”
To which Dad responded: “And did you notice they walked everywhere they went?”
