Long Silence?Fernandel once visited a new barbershop. Having finished his handiwork, the barber - clearly anxious to please his famous client - produced a mirror and held it with a flourish behind the comedian's head.
Fernandel studied the result, smiled his trademark toothy smile, and requested one change: "Just a little longer at the back, please."
