A young boy had just earned his driving permit. He asked his father, who was a rabbi, if they could discuss his use of the family car.

You have brought your school grades up, youve studied the Talmud diligently, but you didnt get your hair cut.

The young man waited a moment and then replied, You know Dad, Ive been

had long hair.

The rabbi said, Yes, and everywhere they went, they walked.
