A man enters a barber shop for a shave. While the barber is foaming him up, he mentions that he wants a closer shave around the cheeks.

"I have just the thing," says the barber, taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer. "Just place this between your cheek and gum."

The client places the ball in his mouth and the barber proceeds to shave the man. After a few strokes, the client asks in garbled speech,"And what if I swallow it?"

"No problem," says the barber. "Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else does.
