Gildersleeves enters Floyd’s barber shop for a shave. While the barber is foaming him up, Gildersleeves mentions the problems he has getting a close shave around the cheeks.
“I have just the thing,” says Floyd the barber taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer. “Just place this between your cheek and gum.”
Gildersleevesplaces the ball in his mouth and Floyd proceeds with the closest shave the man has ever experienced. After a few strokes Gildersleeves asks in garbled speech.
“And what if I swallow it?”
“No problem,” says Floyd the barber. “Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else.”
