Transcript

"At my barber shop, there are two barbers, Jim and Eldon." "Jim is a good barber...Eldon, on the other hand, is this ninety-year-old guy whose hands shake real bad." "Every time a new customer comes in, Old Eldon stands up, dusts off his chair, and says, 'Haircut?'...And every time, the customer replies, 'Sorry, I'm waiting for Jim." "So Eldon just sits back down in his own barber chair, opens up his newspaper, and waits for the next guy." "But this goes on all day, see, making the situation progressively more awkward for everyone, as each new customer chooses this long line over Eldon." "Isn't it sad, watching this Eldon guy get rejected like that?" "Yeah, but what are you gonna do?...Risk getting a terrible haircut just to make some Geezer happy?" "That tip was way too big." "BARBER."
