A businessman is driving through a small town, on his way to an important presentation... He suddenly realizes he needs a haircut and doesn’t have much extra time. He remembers there’s a little barbershop on the next corner, so he stops, and a short while later he’s back on his way... A few weeks later, the man returns to the little barbershop. "Hello again, Sir," greets the barber. "What can I do for you today?" "Oh, I’d like another haircut," replies the man, "but I’m awfully particular. Can I make a few requests this time?" "Of course," replies the barber, "Anything you want. Please have a seat." The businessman sits down... "So, what would you like this time?" asks the barber. "Well, for starters, I want you to cut my right sideburn an inch shorter than my left," says the man... "Cut the hair on the nape of my neck at a 5-degree angle instead of straight across," he continues. "I'd also like my hair parted on the left, but unevenly... " "Oh, and please cut exactly two little divots out on the back of my head." "When you use the clippers, I want the two sides slightly different lengths... " "Blend the sides in, but don’t blend in the back." "Oh, and when you put the hair gel in, comb the front straight forward and the hair on the top of my head to the rear." The barber is taken aback by all these odd requests... "Sir, I can’t do all that!" the barber insists. "Why not?" asks the businessman... "That’s what you did last time."
