I was on my to get my hair cut yesterday and on the drive over I thought this to myself.
I am now 59 and half bald, should I still be paying full price for a hair cut at a shop that I have been going to for 15 years?
I see it as half the work, half the sweep up time and less ware & tare on the tools and all of that means moving more customers thru the place in a given amount of time, no?
I mean hey! Throw me a bone on a shave, or splash on more of the 2 cent smelly stuff you toss on at the end, or may be be sure to wrap my neck so that no hair does go down my back, or throw out the 3 year magazines and get some dam new ones that have not spent 4 months at home first!
And please, please tell me that is not the same blue stuff in the jar where you pull the combs out of as when I first walked through your door 15 years ago!
Just sayin!

Must be having a "bad" hair day. Well you could always just grow it long and use it for a comb over and when it reaches your shoulder, part it and make it into a scarf for the winter. Problem solved and didn't cost you a dime. "If the women don't find you attractive, they should at least find you handy". (Red Green)

I guess I was Cranky gang and here`s the back story to why that might be!
I had like I posted drove over to the barber shop and I was sitting in my car parked in the strip type Mall parking lot texting a reply to my girl friend, let me say that again, parked, in a parking lot, as in not on a public roadway!
A cop patrolling the lot came by a saw me, knocked on my window and proceeded to write me a ticket for texting, I chuckled at him at first and asked surly you must be kiddin,his reply was nope!
Yup texting while parked, but not on a public roadway,WTF!!!!
So now with the surchanrge this ticket is gonna run me almost 200 bucks!
Does any one else but me think that government is out of control?
Mind you I live in New York so may be I should not be so surprised!

Here in the boonies of northern Indiana (It isn't exactly nowhere, but you can see nowhere from here), it has become common knowledge that one simply cannot "sleep off" a drinking binge in one's vehicle without risking a DUI/DWI charge. I could understand if they were handing out Public Intoxication violations...in public inside a vehicle is still very much in public...but apparently the "D" in "DUI" means something other than what I'd understood it to mean.
And no, I'm not speaking from experience; back when I used to drink heavily, the way they handled these things made a lot more sense.
I can identify with the whole male pattern baldness thing, but my most recent haircut was almost thirty years ago, and my sister always did mine, so I've never had to suffer the indignity of paying full price for getting less than a full head of hair cut. I can sympathize, though. It hardly seems right.

Another reason to never live in New York.......STUPID LAWS. The state coffers ought to be busting at the seams then. No wonder a lot of people don't own cars there...can't afford the texting fine. There just ain't no pill for stupid.

Food for thought......when the cop ran your plates......guess what he was doing......texting. Think he should have written a citation for himself as well. Yep, justice is blind, deaf and dumb as well. Got to love our legal system. The day they opened the door to the "nut houses" is when all the crazies went into politics.

I guess to me the problem stems from lawmakers trying to legislate common sense. Like you said, there's no pill for stupid and making a law doesn't cure it either.

There a lot to be learned from the Darwin Theory.

60 miles to the south of me NYC just got rid of the former mayor who though he was God and limited how much salt and drink size people could have, not to mention basically bought him self a third unlawful term as mayor !

What was it Mark Twain said , politicians are like diapers, they should be changed often and for the same reason!!
