Sunday Morning Smile : )

O’Rourke, the barber, was hearing complaints from his customer about

the price of his services. “I tell you O’Rourke, you Dublin barbers have

a stranglehold on the citizens. I was in New York just last month, and

you charge me double what they charge there.”

“That may be true, Sir,” said the barber,“but think of the airfare.”
