A traveler arrives in a small-town and decides he wants a hair cut. There are only 2 barbershops 1 on the East and 1 on the West. The east shop is a HOT mess and the barber has a horrible hair cut. The West shop is lovely...clean and neat with a well groomed barber with a perfect hair cut.
Which barbershop does the traveler choose?
