    A guy stuck his head into a barbershop and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut?"

    The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, "About 2 hours." The guy left.

    A few days later, the same guy stuck his head in the door and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut?"

    The barber looked around at the shop and said, "About 3 hours." The guy left.

    A week later, the same guy stuck his head in the shop and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut?"

    The barber looked around the shop and said, "About an hour and a half." The guy left.

    The barber turned to his friend and said, "Hey, Bob, do me a favour, follow him and see where he goes. He keeps asking how long he has to wait for a haircut, but he never comes back."

    A little while later, Bob returned to the shop. The barber asked, "So, where does he go when he leaves?"

    Bob replied, "Your house!"
