Barber's wife shaves husband after church tale
A talkative country man tells a humorous barber shop anecdote about his wife shaving him for five years after they married and a church morning dispute. The tale ends with the man praising the luxury of being shaved by his wife rather than by a barber. The excerpt then describes cotton factory experiments in moisture control using valve-regulated outlets to distribute steam humidity to rooms.
