A young boy had just gotten his driving permit. He asked his minister father if they could discuss the use of the car.

His father took him to his study and said, "I'll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up, study your bible a little, and get your hair cut, and we'll talk about it."

After about a month, the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss use of the car.

They again went to the father's study, where his father said, "Son, I've been real proud of you. You have brought your grades up, you've studied your bible diligently, but you didn't get your hair cut!"

The young man waited a moment and replied, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that. You know, Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair..."

To which his father replied, "Yes, and they walked everywhere they went!"
