A cowboy rolls in to town looking for a haircut and a shave. Asks around and gets told the best shave in town is at George's barber shop. He enters, waits a bit, gets' called and asks for a shave and a haircut. Says he never has gotten a close shave at any barber shop he's patronized. The barber gives him a wooden ball to put inside his mouth and proceeds to give him his shave. He gets done one side and tells him to swtich the ball to the other side. After the haircut, the cowboy comments and says he never has had a smoother shave. He then asks the barber what happens if someone swallows the ball. The barber replies, "Oh, they just bring it back in a couple days".
