Oh well, I reworded it to avoid googling.   A tourist is staying in a foreign town for a couple of days, he is in desperate need of a haircut. He asks around the small town to find out that there is only one Barbershop in the town. Upon entering the Barbershop, he sees only two barbers and no mirrors. They say: 'We are the only two barbers in this town, everyone gets a haircut from us' You can only receive a haircut from one barber. Here are the tourist's observations: Barber A: He has a nice, tidy hair-style. His fingers looks smooth and skilful. Barber B: He has extremely messy hair, awfully cut and butchered. His fingers are rough, but sturdy-looking.   Which barber do you choose? Or do you choose none at all?
