A Gentleman in a small town decided to get a haircut. The town had only two barbers, each with his own shop. The Gentleman went into one shop and saw that it was extremely untidy. The barber was unsaved, his clothes were unkempt, his hair was badly cut. The other shop was extremely neat. The barber was freshly shaved and spotlessly dressed, his hair neatly trimmed. Why did the Gentleman return to the first shop for his haircut?

John and his younger brother were fighting. Their father was tired of the fighting and decided to punish them by making them stand on the same piece of newspaper in such a way that they couldn’t touch each other. How did he accomplish this ?
