3 businessman from London and a barber

Admonish your b? Ah I see dear Watson, yes! As a matter of fact I do believe your beard is getting too long

"Do I look like a Hebrew doc?"

"On the contrary quite like a hindu! If you had a hat or a towel I'd mistake you for a sufi."

"Glad James is here then, for both of our sakes. I'll mistake myself for Jesus or a levite and you'll think I'm a beggar." In walks James. "I'm ready for you sir!"

In walks three gentleman buisness suits, bowler caps, cigars their mind on the profits.

"Hello gents" Says James. "Goodday" says one of the taller of the gentleman.

"PIP-PIP Cheerio" mocks our guru. One of the shorter bearded stocky gentleman was clearly drunk and James eyed him cautiouslyto make sure he wasn't about to become belligerent.

"Well now a pleasing day for a shave I'd say." "Bout as good as any" replied our guru. "Do you fellas come here often?"

"No" replied the third, bald, cold looking. "Were actually here on business. We're from london."

James smiled indifagably "your business is as good here as anywhere else."

The tall gentleman replied in kind "I was afraid we'd have to go someplace else because of the lack of quality shops in these parts of the country." Our guru is a wit snapping "why does this part of town not do justice to the good people of London? We are just humble patrons getting haircuts after all. James interrupted "Now if these gentleman want to do business here I'd have you treat them with some honor".

Muffled, throaty smokers cough sounds.

"I'm not offended shopkeep! Sometimes it's good to just meet people where they're at."

Bearded guint "Aye". Cold bald fool "the town before this one didn't even have a tavern."

"No?" James prodded.
