When life was very hard, a farmer said to a barber, "Now corn's lower in price. I think you should shave for half price."
"I can't, sir," said the barber, "I really should charge more because when corn's cheap, farmers are unhappy and worried. All of them make such long faces that I have twice the ground to go over."
