Heaven help me. I just realized I am really, truly getting ... old. Ahem. Why, you ask? How in the world did I come to this frightening conclusion?
Well ... it all started when my step-father forwarded one of those emails that gets passed around to anyone who breathes. Oh, I mean anyone who breaths AND has an email account. Which, now that I think about it ... that is pretty much anyone who breathes, right?
Good grief, how in the world do I get so distracted and off topic? Probably old age.
Just sayin'.
Anyway, I scrolled down the page and discovered that it was only a few paragraphs and decided to read it. And for some reason, it cracked me up.
Obviously, I'm easily amused. And entertained. We'll just mark that up to old age too! Okay? Because it made ME laugh, I thought I'd share it ... just in case it might make YOU laugh too.
A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his
father as to when they could discuss his use of the family 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.'His father replied, 'Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?'
