THE BARBER
A boy took a haircut from a barber.
Barber: You know what, I don't believe that there's a God.
Boy: Why is it?
Barber: Look outside, there are lots of people who have problems. If there's a God, he should have already fixed all their problems.
Boy: Is it? Well, me too. I do not believe there's a barber.
Barber: Huh?! Why is it?
Boy: Look outside. If there's a barber, why is it that there are lots of them with long hair?
Barber: Er, I can't cut their hair if they don't want to.
Boy: God is the same. He can't fixed your life if we don't want to come to him.

ANG BARBERO
May isang bata na nagpagupit sa barber
Barbero: Otoy, Alam mo hindi ako naniniwalang may Diyos.
Bata: Bakit naman po?
Barbero: Tingin ka sa labas, ang daming taong may problema. Kung may Diyos, eh di sana inayos na Niya lahat ng problema.
Bata: Ganon po? Ako din po, hindi ako naniniwalang may barbero.
Barbero: Ha?! Bakit naman?
Bata: Tingin po kayo sa labas. Kung may barbero, bakit ang daming mahaba ang buhok?
Barbero: Eh, hindi ko naman sila pwedeng gupitan kung ayaw nila.
Bata: Ganon din po si God. Hindi Niya maayos ang buhay natin kung ayaw nating lumapit sa Kanya.
