A Teenage Son’s Locks Are Like A Palestinian Peace Offering

A 15-year-old boy in Israel was sentenced to cut off his hair as punishment for studying for a Math test while in Talmud class.

Adept at the art of negotiation (like all good Israelis), the teacher originally told the boy he wouldn't be able to take the Math test, to which the boy responded, "Let's not mix apples and oranges." The teacher then equated compromise with the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The teacher said, "This is like the peace agreements with the Palestinians. First you make the concession, then we'll have the negotiations."

 The wise son responded in kind, "And what did we (Israel) get out of that?" The teacher was forced to concede and decided a haircut would suffice.
