When times were hard, a farmer said to a barber: "Corn prices are low now. I think you should charge half price for a shave."
"I can't, sir," replied the barber. "In fact, I should charge more. When corn is cheap, farmers become unhappy and worried. They all pull such long faces that I have twice the area to shave."
时局艰难之际，一位农场主对理发师说：“现在粮食跌价了，我觉得你刮脸也该只收半价。”
“这可不行，先生，”理发师答道，“其实我应该多收点钱才对。粮食一便宜，农场主们就变得闷闷不乐、忧心忡忡。他们个个都把脸拉得老长，我要刮的面积可是多了一倍。”
