A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together

After the man received the full treatment - shave, shampoo, manicure,

haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair.

"I'm going to buy a green tie to wear for the parade," he said. "I'll be

back in a few minutes."

When the boy's haircut was completed and the man still hadn't returned, the

barber said, "Looks like your daddy's forgotten all about you."

"That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the

hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're gonna get a free haircut!'"
