A barber never has to look for work; he can go into any new town and always find his job.

I don't know but what I'd just as soon be a barber as a printer.

Some ways I might like it better.

You don't have as much time to yourself, of course, but you meet a lot of men you wouldn't meet otherwise; most of 'em fools to be sure, but some of 'em wise that you can get new thoughts from.

It's a cleaner trade than typesetting and fussing round a small-town print shop.
