Ah, you are speaking about the barber's own eye, isn't it? I have seen this only—when my cousin fixed the Ambassador's engine, the customer insisted we put cheap oil, but my cousin knew the make's hunger.

Ah, call your own fouls? In my thirty years of driving, I have seen how many passengers will swear they gave the exact change when the meter said twenty-five rupees only.

Ah, that is proper character only. Reminds me of the time I once drove a passenger from Tambaram to T. Nagar, he paid extra by mistake, I returned it next day—he was shocked. That *susegad* honesty, it comes from knowing the game is bigger than the win.
