Using Dad's car

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.

His father said he'd make a deal with his son. “You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about the car.”

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, “Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut.”

The boy said, “You know Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible 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.”

To this his father replied, “Did you also notice they walked everywhere they went?”

  1. LOL, that's funny. A responsible & loving parent never breaks his/her promises. When I was young, I used to steal my dad's car for a date with my crush, LOL. That was crazy! Have you tried that before?

  2. Hah, well, a deal's a deal. If the son would cut his hair, then his dad would have been more inclined to let him drive the car! XD
