Jim walked into a barbers for a shave and haircut. He said he’d understand if the shave wasn’t clean and smooth because of he had wrinkled cheeks, “Just do your best.”

The barber nodded wisely and got a wooden ball off the shelf. “Put this into your cheek. It will smooth out your wrinkles. No problem.”

Jim was thrilled with his shave which was as smooth as a baby’s bottom. “That’s the best shave I’ve had for years. I’m going to be a regular.”

“That’s really nice to hear. Thank you.”

“By the way what would have happened if I’d swallowed the ball?”

“Nothing to worry about there. Just bring it back in a couple of days like all the other gentlemen do.”
