A man said to his barber, "I need a good haircut. My wife and I are flying to Rome, where we'll stay at the Excelsior and have an audience with the Pope."
The barber said, "You won't like it. That airline's the worst in the world. The Excelsior's a flophouse. Rome's drab at this time of year. You'll be one of a thousand at your audience and probably in the back row."
Three weeks later the man came in for another haircut. The barber asked, "How was the trip?"
The man said, "The flight was superb -- not a bump, not even air turbulence -- the meals delicious and the stewardesses took care of everything. The Excelsior was first-rate in every respect, and Rome was beautiful and entertaining beyond description. My wife and I had a private audience with the Pope. He talked with us for a few minutes and finally put his hand on my head to bless me. Then he said, 'What a terrible haircut! You should change your barber.' "
