Borrow the car
A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his
father, as to when they could discuss his use of the car.

His father said he'd make a deal: 'You bring your grades up from a C
to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then
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, you've brought your
grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible,
but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut.'

The boy 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 strong
evidence that Jesus had long hair.'

Dad's reply: 'Did you also notice they all walked
everywhere they went?'

1. Haha
I only clicked on your message because I thought it said "Borrow the cat."

I'm one of the Lounge's cat lovers. Cars -- not so much.

2. Sounds like something printed in Readers Digest, circa 1965.
