Sworn Enemies
Pat and Mick were sworn enemies, and the slightest wrong word was sure to set them off.
As luck would have it they both ended up at the local barbershop at the same time.
As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken.
The barbers were even afraid to start any conversation,
for fear that Pat and Mick would wreck the place.
When the barber who was working on Pat finished his shave, he reached for the aftershave.
“No aftershave”, said Pat, “my wife will smell it and think that I’ve been inside a brothel.”
The other barber turned to Mick and asked,
“How about you Mick, do you want aftershave?”
Sure, go ahead.” Said Mick,
“my wife doesn’t know what the inside of a brothel smells like.”
