Okay, okay. Here's a clean one. Even the Priest at our church liked it.

A teenage boy walks up to his father and says, "Hey Dad. I passed my driver's test some time ago. And you do let me run errands with your car, but isn't time for me to get my own set of wheels?"

The father looks up at him, sighs and says, "First of all, your grades have not been good. As a matter of fact, they're abominable. Secondly, you do almost no work around the house and sit in your room playing unintelligable music or playing some blood and guts game on the computer. Finally, your hair is a mess. It's down below your shoulders and because of your slender build some people have mistaken you to be a girl.

"Bring up your grades, put some effort in help around the house and get a decent haircut. Then see me in three months."

Three months go by and the lad approaches his father again. "Hey Dad, you see that I've brought up my grades to at least 3.0 in some of them and a 4.0 in math. Also I've been taking out the trash for you, laid in new tile in the bathroom and painted the garage.

"So, how about that set of wheels."

The father looks up at him and says, "Well your grades have improved well beyond expectation. Also your work around the house not only has been well appreciated but has saved us a lot of money as we were going to hire a tile layer and a painter.

"But the third requirement has not been met. Your hair is even longer than it was before. Didn't I tell you to get a haircut?"

The boy answers, "Yes you did Dad, but what's the big deal about it? I wash it every day and don't forget, Jesus and his disciples all had long hair."

The father replies, "Yes my son, they did. But they also walked."
