The traveler goes to have his hair cut at the barbershop
on East Street. He figures that since there are
only two barbershops in town the East Street barber
must have his hair cut by the West Street barber
and vice versa. So if the traveler wants to look
as good as the West Street barber (the one with
the good haircut), he'd better go to the man who
cuts the West Street barber's hair-the East Street
barber. By the way, the reason the West Street barbershop
is so clean and neat is that it seldom gets customers.
