At the Barber
A man was getting a haircut prior
to a trip to Rome. He mentioned the trip to the barber who
responded, "Rome? Why would anyone want to go there?
It's crowded & dirty and full of Italians.
You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting
there?β
"We're taking American
Airlines," was the reply. "We got a great
rate!"
"American?" exclaimed
the barber. "That's a terrible airline. Their
planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and
they're always late. So, where are you staying in
Rome?"
"We'll be at the
downtown International Marr**tt." "That dump!
That's the worst hotel in the city. The rooms are small,
the service is surly and they're overpriced. So, whatcha
doing when you get there?"
We're
going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the
Pope."
"That's rich,"
laughed the barber. "You and a million other people
trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy,
good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to
need it."
A month later, the man again came
in for his regular haircut. The barber asked him about his
trip to Rome.
"It was wonderful,"
explained the man, "not only were we on time in one of
American's brand new planes, but it was overbooked and
they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were
wonderful, and I had a beautiful 28 year old flight
attendant who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel - -
it was great! They'd just finished a $25 million
remodeling job and now it's the finest hotel in the
city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and
gave us the p**********l suite at no extra
charge!"
"Well," muttered the
barber, "I know you didn't get to see the
pope."
"Actually, we were quite
lucky, for as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me
on the shoulder and explained that the pope likes to
personally meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so
kind as to step into his private room and wait, the pope
would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later
the pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt
down as he spoke a few words to me."
"Really?" asked the
Barber. "What'd he say?"
He said, "Where'd you
get that crappy haircut?β
