From "The Fence Post" a newspaper for rural Nebraska:
The old rancher went to the local barber and asked for a shave. ""My face is so wrinkled form all those years in the sun and wind I can't get a good one myself and I need to look good for my Granddaughters wedding."
The barber reached into a cup and got a small wooden ball and told the old rancher to put it in his mouth and push his cheeks out with it using his tongue. The barber then gave him a shave that got all the whiskers. The rancher handed back the ball and said, "that's a nice shave, but what would you have done if I would have accidently swallowed it?"
The barber then said, "I would have asked you to bring it back in a day or so like everyone else does."
Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him
Do the things that make you think he's right
Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Being alive is the special occasion.

I don't really get it. "everyone else" swallows the ball... why? I mean does the rancher have some sort of special skill that involves being accustomed to balls in his mouth?

Ugh...
The joke has the rancher NOT swallowing but everyone else swallowing. WHY IS THE RANCHER SPECIAL?
IS IT BECAUSE HE IS USED TO HAVING BALLS IN HIS MOUTH?!!!
A joke that any male will laugh at because they love talking a poking fun at anything that has to do with balls, especially if it involves anything vaguely sexual.
I am saying of course I knew that what I said about the rancher being accustomed to balls in his mouth would be funny... because I've hung out with too many guys to NOT be accustomed to toilet/ball humor.

Oh lord, you have to be kidding, don't look beyond a simple joke.
