Knowledge required for this riddle: English-language proverbs.



My friend Leonard came to me with a problem the other day. He said, “Tanner, I want to have a clean-shaven face. But every time I use a razor, I end up with this nasty painful rash.”



“Razor burn,” I said.



“Yeah, that's right,” said Leonard. “Do you have any advice for me?”



“Unfortunately, there's no good solution,” I told him. “You're going to have to either grow your beard out, or just cope with those painful rashes.”



Why will Leonard have to grow his beard out?

    Beacuse he who shaves all the barbers who do not shave themselves should never ask whether you need a haircut. I think that's how the proverb goes.

Maybe it is because




A Lenny shaved is a Lenny burned.

(A penny saved is a penny earned.)

        Leonard, F. (1995).

          • @MattJameson Perhaps you'd have a better experience if you explained the reasoning behind your answer. As it is, it appears to just be a fairly random guess with a tenuous at best relationship to the question, which makes it appear to not that great of a guess. Funny content sometimes accumulate votes despite clearly being wrong or having other problems, but this answer doesn't seem to contain any humor, either.

          • Well I presumed it to be not this easy. But I was thinking that if Leonard gets razor burnt everytime then it might be this answer. Meaning that he gets the result according to the action taken by him.

                                          • @MattJameson Perhaps you'd have a better experience if you explained the reasoning behind your answer. As it is, it appears to just be a fairly random guess with a tenuous at best relationship to the question, which makes it appear to not that great of a guess. Funny content sometimes accumulate votes despite clearly being wrong or having other problems, but this answer doesn't seem to contain any humor, either.
