Joseph had just passed his driving test, so he asked his father, who was a Rabbi, if they could discuss his use of the family car. His father took him to his study and said to him, “Joseph, I’ll make a deal with you. You bring your school grades up, study your Torah, you get your hair cut, and then we’ll discuss your use of the car.”

After about a month, Joseph came back to his father and again asked his father if they could discuss use of the car. Again, went to his father’s study where his father said, “Joseph, I’ve been very proud of you lately. You have raised your school grades and you’ve studied your Torah diligently. Why haven’t you gotten your hair cut!”

Joseph waited a moment and replied, “You know father, I’ve been thinking about that. Samson had long hair, Abraham had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Moses had long hair….”

To which the Rabbi replied, “Yes, and they walked every where they went!”
