An old cowboy goes into a barbershop for a haircut and shave.
He tells the barber he has trouble getting a clean shave because his cheeks are wrinkled with age.
The barber pulls a small wooden ball from a cup on the shelf and says, “Put this inside your cheek. It’ll stretch the skin and make it easier to shave.”
The cowboy does as he’s told, and the barber gives him the cleanest shave he’s had in years.
As he’s leaving, the cowboy asks, “What would happen if I accidentally swallowed that little ball?”
The barber thinks for a moment and says, “Just bring it back in a couple of days, like everyone else does.”
