After twenty years of shaving himself every morning, a man in a small
Southern town decided he'd had enough. He told his wife that he intended to
let the local barber shave him each day. He put on his hat and coat and went
to the barber shop, which was owned by the pastor of the town's Baptist
Church. The barber's wife, Grace, was working that day, so she performed the
task.

Grace shaved him and sprayed him with lilac water, and said, "That will be
$20." The man thought the price was a bit high, but he paid the bill and
went to work. The next morning the man looked in the mirror, and his face
was as smooth as it had been when he left the barber shop the day before.
Not bad, he thought. At least I don't need to get a shave every day.

The next morning, the man's face was still smooth. Two weeks later, the man
was still unable to find any trace of whiskers on his face. It was more than
he could take, so he returned to the barber shop. "I thought $20 was high
for a shave", he told the barber's wife, "but you must have done a great
job. It's been two weeks and my whiskers still haven't started growing
back."

The expression on her face didn't even change, expecting his comment. She
responded, "You were shaved by Grace. Once shaved, always shaved."
