A man walks into Joe's barber shop after church one Sunday for a haircut. He sits down and says, "Joe, just a little off the top". Joe nods and starts clipping away. Midway through the haircut, Joe starts rambling about how there is no God. If there were a God, he says, why is there still suffering, sadness, and poverty all over the world? Until there can be no more unhappiness in the world, there cannot be a God out there.
The man, despite his sincerest Christian beliefs, fears offending Joe and doesn't quite want to risk walking out of there with his head half done. He stays silent and lets Joe ramble on. Several minutes later, Joe dusts him off, collects his fee, and the man leaves the barbershop.
Two blocks down the road, he comes across the most dirty, slimy, grimy, unkempt begger he has ever seen. I mean, the guy was a sight for sore eyes! Filthy clothes, long crusty bread, sore eyes, hair so long and scraggly it looked like a haystack on his head. The man immediately makes an about turn, and walks right back into Joe's.

"Joe! I don't believe in barbers!" he yells. Joe turns to face him in the middle of serving a customer. "What do you mean you don't believe in barbers? I just gave you a trim, and here I am, working hard on ol' Ernie, when you storm in here and make the most absurd statement of the century? What's with you???"

"Well, just a couple blocks down sits an old pan-handler with the longest, most ugly hair I have ever seen. If there was a barber, there wouldn't be people walking around with long hair" the man replies.

"Don't be ridiculous!" retorts Joe. "Of course there can be people with long hair. That old geezer didn't come to me, how could I have given him a haircut?"

The man nods and says, "You see, Joe, there is a God, but you have to go to Him."
