>A man was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome.
He mentioned the trip to the barber who responded,
"Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded
and dirty and far away. You're crazy to go to Rome.
So, how are you getting there?"
>
>"We're taking TWA," was the reply. "We got a great
rate!"
>
>"TWA?" exclaimed the barber. "That's a terrible
airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants
are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you
staying in Rome?"
>
>"We'll be at the downtown International Marriott."
>
>"That dump! That's the worst hotel in the city. The
rooms are small, the service is surly and they're
overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you get there?"
>
>"We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to
see the Pope."
>
>"That's rich," laughed the barber. "You and a million
other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of
an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours.
You're going to need it."
>
>A month later, the man again came in for his regular
haircut. The barber asked him about his trip to Rome.
>
>"It was wonderful," explained the man, "not only were
we on time in one of TWA's brand new planes, but it
was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class.
The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a
beautiful 28 year old stewardess who waited on me hand
and foot. And the hotel - it was great! They'd just
finished a $25 million remodeling job and now it's the
finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked,
so they apologized and gave us the presidential suite
at no extra charge!"
>
>"Well," muttered the barber, "I know you didn't get
to see the Pope."
>
>"Actually, we were quite lucky, for as we toured the
Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and
explained that the Pope likes to personally meet some
of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into
his private room and wait, the pope would personally
greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later the Pope
walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt
down as he spoke a few words to me."
>
>"Really?" asked the Barber. "What'd he say?"
>
>He said, "Where'd you get the lousy haircut?"
