Does it help if the barber is named Bob?

I thought I needed a haircut and so after helping with some errands drove over town to go to the local barber whose name is Bob. My barber in Omaha is also a Bob. Thus I began to wonder if you had to be called Bob if you are a barber. This conjecture is probably not worth pursuing. This Bob was a character of 80 years of age and 80 years of collected opinions. I did thoroughly enjoy listening. He raised and raced harness horses. He also bought a farm for $70,000 and later sold half of it for 1/2 million. He has five sons and two daughters and apparently another son 52 years old that he just met recently. Sounds like quite a family. Happy holidays
