HE'S SHAVING YOU!

An influential man in town was sitting in the barber's chair having a shave and a haircut. He saw a pretty woman who was working in the office there and started flirting with her. "You're cute! How about a date tonight?" he said to her.

The pretty woman smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm married."

"That's no big deal!" said the arrogant man. "Call the bum up and tell him you will be home late tonight!"

The woman smiled and said, "Why don't you tell the bum yourself. He's shaving you right now!"

James said the tongue has the power to destroy your life! (James 3).
