had some problems getting a close shave on his cheeks. "I have just the

thing," the barber told him. He fished around in a nearby drawer and handed

the man a small wooden ball. "Just place this between your cheek and gum."

The man put the ball in his mouth and the barber proceeded to give him the

closest shave he had ever received. Halfway through the experience, the man

grunted to the barber, "But what if I swallow the ball?" "Don't worry about

it," the barber replied. "Just bring it back to me tomorrow like everyone

else does."
