Old style

Mr. Lloyd went to the barber every month to have a haircut. He sometimes took his small son Philip with him, and Philip sat and looked at magazines during his father's haircut. But at that time, the barber did not cut Philip's hair. Mrs. Lloyd always cut it at home.

Then, one day, Mr. Lloyd said to his wife, 'Philip's five now and the barber is going to cut his hair next time.'

He took Philip there the next day, and first the barber cut Mr. Lloyd's hair. Then he put Philip in the chair and said, 'How do you want your hair, young man?'

'Like my father's,' answered Philip. 'With a hole in the middle.'
