At the Barber's

    Len was thirty years old, and he had very long hair. He lived in a big city. Because of his long hair, he did not find any work. One day he met an old friend, and this man said to him, "People in this city don't like long hair. Why don't you go to a barber? He can cut a lot of it off, and then you can get some work" At the barber's Len said to the barber, "Please cut most of my hair off."

    The barber began. He cut and cut for a long time and then he said to Len, "Were you in the army a few years ago?"

    "Yes, I was," Len answered, "Why did you ask that?" "Because I found a cap in your hair."
