A man walked in to Joes Barber Shop for his regular haircut. As he snips away, Joe asks Whats up? The man proceeds to explain hes taking a vacation to Rome. Rome?! Joe says, Why would you want to go there? Its a crowded dirty city full of Italians! Youd be crazy to go to Rome! So how ya getting there? Were taking Virgin, the man replies. Virgin?! yells Joe. Theyre a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are terrible and theyre always late! So where you staying in Rome? The man says Well be at the downtown International Marriot. That dump?! says Joe. Thats the worst hotel in the city! The rooms are small, the service is surly and slow and theyre overpriced! So whatcha doing when you get there? The man says Were going to go see the Vatican and hope to see the Pope. Ha! Thats rich! laughs Joe. You and a million other people trying to see him. Hell look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this trip. Youre going to need it! A month later, the man comes in for his regular haircut. Joe says, Well, how did that trip to Rome turn out? Betcha Virgin gave you the worst flight of your life! No, quite the opposite explained the man. Not only were we on time in one of their brand new planes, but it was full and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful 28 year old flight attendant who waited on me hand and foot! Hmmm, Joe says, Well, I bet the hotel was just like I described. No, quite the opposite! Theyd just finished a £25 million remodelling. Its the finest hotel in Rome, now. They were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us the Presidential suite for no extra charge! Well, Joe mumbles, I KNOW you didnt get to see the Pope! Actually, we were quite lucky. As we toured the Vatican, a Swiss guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained the Pope likes to personally meet some of the visitors, and if Id be so kind as to step into this private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, after 5 minutes the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand. I knelt down as he spoke a few words to me. Impressed, Joe asks, Tell me, please! Whatd he say? Oh, not much really. Just Whered you get that terrible haircut?
