Little Johnny had just passed his driving test and asked his father when he could start using the family car.
His father smiled and said,
“I’ll make you a deal. Bring your grades up from a C average to a B average, spend some time reading your Bible, and get a haircut. Then we’ll talk about the car.”
Johnny thought about it for a moment and agreed.
About six weeks later, his father sat down with him.
“Son,” he said, “I’m proud that you’ve improved your grades, and I’ve noticed that you’ve been reading your Bible. But I’m disappointed that you still haven’t gotten your hair cut.”
Johnny smiled and replied,
“You know, Dad, while reading the Bible, I noticed 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 smiled back and said,
“Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?”
