The Haircut
Filed Under Humor, Religion | Leave a Comment
A young boy had just gotten his driver’s permit and inquired of his father, if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he’d make a deal with his son.
“You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut; and we’ll talk about the
car.” The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer and they agreed on it.
After about six weeks his father said, “Son, I’ve been real proud. You brought your grades up and I’ve observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I’m real disappointed you haven’t gotten your hair cut.”
The young man paused a moment then said, “You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that, and I’ve noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair and there’s even a strong argument that Jesus had long hair.”
To this his father replied, “Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?”

I’ve long used Alex King’s fantastic Wordpress Mobile plugin. It’s very simple to install to make your wordpress blog accessible to a variety of mobile devices. When Google announced that Adsense would be available for mobile I was doubly excited. When I first tried to add mobile Adsense code to my mobile pages, I kept getting the error “URL file access is disabled in the server configuration.” After a search through a variety of online forums, I finally figured out that this is a simple fix. In the root of the web directory there is a small file called “php.ini”. By default, many hosting plans have some critical parameters set to “off”. In order to take advantage of Google Adsense mobile, you will need to edit the php.ini file and set the following to “on”:
allow_url_fopen = on
allow_url_include = on
Reupload the file and you should no longer get error messages. It takes about 48 hours for the Google Adsense to start showing up.
