It's an old joke

But it's mine and I refuse to part with it. Brief exchange with a coworker just a few minutes ago:
Her: Did you cut your hair?
Me: No, I paid someone else to cut it.
I never get tired of that one.

UPDATE: Interestingly, to me at least, the first time I ever used that joke, some 25 years or so ago, it was in Spanish.

And one I've used:

Clueless person: "Did you get your hair cut?"

Me: "Yup. In fact I got all of 'em cut."

Fun with plurals!

Yeah, I've use that one too. But not in Spanish, it just doesn't work.

Ricki, there's a variation to yours:

Victim: "Did you get a haircut?"

Me: "No, I had 'em all cut."

A guy walks into a bar. Ouch!

I've always liked that one.
