Homeless man shaved

A police officer in the US has been praised for helping a homeless man shave his beard for a job interview. (BBC news link)

This is an addition to my Six-Word Couplets that I started back on 6/9/2018. I've been intrigued by the "six-word story," which has gained popularity, including the 2006 Six-Word Memoirs® project. What about a six-word couplet?

Lol. . . Even my simple cover image above has six words!
