【笑话原文】


 


Haircut


 


Our supervisor made a comment about my shaggy mane. He then went on to extol the virtues of a good haircut, which makes an elderly man look younger, and a younger man seem more mature. “How would a haircut make a middle-aged man like me appear?” I asked, trying to stump 2 him. “Still employed,” he answered.
