Dutch translation
"Een kapper, een kale man en een verstrooide professor zijn samen op reis. Ze moeten 's nachts kamp op slaan, daartoe beslissen ze om om de beurt op wacht te staan om de bagage in het oog te houden. Als de kapper aan de beurt is, begint hij zich al snel te vervelen, en hij verdrijft de tijd door het hoofd van de verstrooide professor kaal te scheren. Wanneer de professor wordt gewekt voor zijn shift, voelt hij aan zijn hoofd en zegt: "Hoe stom is die kapper? Hij heeft de kale man wakker gemaakt in plaats van mezelf." - Philogelos
