Barbers and sex

Just had an interesting, and slightly amusing conversation with my barber, who had clearly forgotten my job! It went rather like this...


Barber: Not working today?
Me: I'm the minister at the baptist church, have flexible hours and will be working at a meeting tonight...
B: Well, sorry to keep you waiting.
M: Not at all! In fact I was just reading a book.
B: Oh, what were you reading?
M: Ah, it was a book about sex actually.
B: (clearly flummoxed) Oh!
M: By an American guy called Rob Bell. Really good, goes into the deeper meaning of all kinds of things about sex and desire.
B: Quite deep, eh?
M: Yeah.
B: Don't expect to find a minister reading a book about sex!
M: Oh, it's great. It's called Sex God.
B: (recovering) Oh, that's what the Mrs calls me!

One little step along the way!

(It is a great book, by the way. Here's the Amazon link.)
