Haircut

Thursday, June 22, 2006

So, I'm sitting at Pro-cuts today, waiting about 5 hours in line to get a haircut. This older couple (probably in their mid/late 70's) end up sitting next to me, and the man turns to his wife and proceeds to talk about how "old fashion barbers" did it. So....I listen....

"These young girls in here do it the easy way. Barbers didn't wet your hair to cut it. When you get the hair wet or wash it, that makes it a lot easier to cut."
"They spend too much time cleaning up. Barbers didn't sweep up after every customer. They'd just kick it to the side and sweep at the end of the day."
Etc., etc., etc.

All the while, I'm hoping the wife isn't about to fall over dead...cause she's over there hacking up a lung. I swear I've never heard anyone cough like that. When I finally got in the chair, getting my hair cut, the Pro-cuts lady cutting my hair is obviously bothered by this woman's coughing, hacking, etc. So it made me giggle....quietly...to myself.

And thus, the story resolves itself.....so the old man is called for his haircut, the lady walks him back towards her chair and asks, "Would you like a shampoo today sir?". And he replies, "Oh, yes."....like she should have known that he wouldn't have it any other way.

............and the wife steps outside, as to not continue bothering everyone with her hideous coughing.
