The Barber And The Wooden Ball

I was in the city one day just walking around when I noticed this barbershop that was proudly display a sigh stating “The Closest Shave In Town”. As I was in need of a shave I thought I would give this bloke a try to see how good he really was. So I walk in, he sits me down and starts to lather me up and I explain to him how I have a problem around the cheek area.

’Not a problem,’ he says, ‘I have just the thing.’ He takes a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer and tells me to place it between my cheek and gum.’

Being a trusting sort of person I take the ball and I follow the barber’s instruction. As he starts shaving me I start to feel a little uncomfortable and I mumble around the ball….

‘And what if I swallow it?’

‘No problem,’ says the barber. ‘Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else does. 😆
