Danny had recently passed his driving test and decided to ask his clergyman father if there was any chance of him getting a car for Christmas, which was yet some months away.
"Okay." said his father "I'll tell you what I’ll do. If you can get your ‘C’ level grades up to ‘A’s and ‘B’s, study your bible and get your hair cut, I’ll consider the matter very seriously."
A couple of months later Danny had studied his way to better grades, and went back to his father.
His father said "I’m really impressed by your commitment to your studies. Your grades are excellent and the work you have put into your bible studies is very encouraging. However, I have to say I’m very disappointed that you haven’t had your hair cut yet."
Danny was a smart young man who was never lost for an answer. "Look dad. In the course of my bible studies I’ve noticed in the illustrations that Moses, John the Baptist, Samson and even Jesus had long hair."
"Yes. I’m aware of that…" replied his father "… but did you also notice they walked wherever they went?"
