After twenty years of shaving himself every morning, a man in a small Southern town thought he had
enough. He told his wife that he wanted to let the barber shave him every day. He put on his hat and coat
and went to the barber shop.
The barber's wife Grace was working that day, so she performed the task. Grace shaved him and said,
"That will be $20." The man was surprised, but he paid the bill and went to work.
The next morning, the man looked in the mirror and his face was as smooth as it had been when he left
the barber shop the day before. "Not bad," he thought. "At least I don't need to get a shave every day."
The next morning, the man's face was still smooth! Two weeks later, the man was still unable to find
any trace of whiskers on his face. It was more than he could take and he was frightened, so he returned
to the barber shop.
"I thought $20 was too high for a shave, but now I think $20 is too little," he told the barber's wife.
"You must have done a good job. It's been two weeks and my whiskers still haven't started growing back."
The expression on her face didn't even change, and she said, "You were shaved by Grace. Once shaved,
always shaved."
