Roman Holiday​

A man settled into the Barber’s chair and said,
“Just tidy my hair up a bit please , because I’m off for a
holiday in Italy .”
“Italy ! !!” exclaimed the Barber, “Don’t do it.”
“But why?” said the man.

“Well, the flight over will be disgusting , they won’t
feed you or give you anything to drink , and the pilots
all look like that Mr. Magoo. If you get through that,
you’ll arrive at a smelly airport and then have to wait hours
to get the wrong luggage . Then the Taxi driver will rip
you off while taking you to the most disgusting , rat infected
Rome Motel in the world .

Next day you’ll go to visit the VATICAN and see a lot of
crazy Catholics waiting for a wave from a guy on the
balcony wearing a bathrobe.”

Six weeks later, the traveller returned and popped into
the same Barber’s shop.
“Well, how did you go?” asked the Barber.

“Fantastic, the plane flight over was smooth, plenty of
nice food and drink and a great crew. The Rome
Taxi Driver carried our bags from the Airport, the
trip to town was cheap, and he took us to the best Rome Hotel
in town.

The next morning, we went to the VATICAN and the people
were silent and paid great respect to the POPE.


AND, to top it all off, he picked me to be taken up for
a special audience with him.”


“Gosh, what happened?” asked the barber .

“I knelt before him and said, “WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU FATHER?”


AND, the POPE SAID, “MY SON, MY SON, answer me this
question,


WHERE DID YOU GET THAT TERRIBLE HAIRCUT.”
