Hey guys, I heard a riddle about a man going to a barbershop and sees that the barber is badly dressed with crazy hair and everything is old and messy. So he goes to another one and sees that the barber has a really good haircut and the place is really clean and nice. But he returns to the first one. Why?

Can anyone tell me the exact riddle cause I might be missing something. Not the answer! Thanks.

Part II:
A little known fact: There were actually TWO barbers in Seville (and the next nearest barber is a hundred mile train ride away in Quadalquivir).

The barber mentioned by Edguardo runs a very tight ship; his shop is spotlessly clean, as is his attire. He has perfectly groomed nails, teeth and hair - the very model of a clean, well-groomed gentleman. The other barber, on the other side of the tracks has a dirty shop, with hair on the floor. He's dressed in old clothes, with grimy nails, yellow teeth, B.O. and a terrible haircut - he's a slob.

You've just blown into town for a convention and absolutely must get a haircut. Who do you go to?
 
It's obvious. This thread should be moved to "Brain Teasers" subforum, it's beneath the level of General Discussion.
 
Oops. Sorry. My bad :blushing: Anyone know how I can change it?
