A Marine enters a barber shop for a haircut and a shave. While the barber is
foaming him up, the Marine mentions that he always has problems getting a close
shave around the cheeks, that it looks sloppy and distracts from his appearance.
"I have just the thing", says the barber taking a small wooden ball
from a nearby drawer. "Just get a wooden ball like this and place it between
your cheek and gum". "Here, let me show you how well it works".
The Marine places the ball in his mouth and the barber proceeds to give him
the closest shave the Marine has ever experienced. After a few more strokes
the Marine starts thinking about the ball in his mouth. So he asks in garbled
speech.
"And what if I swallow it?
"No problem", says the barber, "Just bring it back tomorrow like
everone else does."
