Have You Been To Grace?
There IS a Grace, NC, which I am only mentioning so I can relate a little *funny* ... 
AMAZING GRACE
After twenty years of shaving himself every morning, a man in a small Southern town decided he had had enough. He told his wife that he intended to let the local barber shave him each day. He put on his hat and coat
and went to the barbershop, which was owned by the pastor of the town's Baptist church.
The barber's wife, Grace, was working that day, so she performed the task. Grace shaved him and sprayed him with lilac water and said, "That will be $20." The man thought the price was a bit high, but he paid the bill and went to work.
The next morning the man looked in the mirror and his face was as smooth as it had been when he left the barbershop the day before. "Not bad," he thought, "At least I don't need to get a shave every day." The next
morning the man's face was still smooth! Two weeks later the man was STILL unable to find any trace of whiskers on his face. It was more than he could take, so he returned to the barbershop.
"I thought $20 was high for a shave," he told the barber's wife, "but you must have done a great job. It's been two weeks and my whiskers still haven't started growing back."
The expression on her face didn't even change, as she was expecting his comment. She responded, "You were shaved by Grace. Once shaved, always shaved."

Bonnie - Thank you for topping this as I missed it the first time! I will definitely share this with my morning bagel group as they will find it a hoot! In fact, I can think of several places to pass it on to! Don't know the one about the horse, tho....
I get it, Bonnie! I'll have to share this with my pastor. Thanks for the chuckle!
