Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 11, 2015

Ok, I’m not going to a barber that cuts George’s hair.

Those are just the bits of news off the top of his head.

It’s almost like Facebook when everyone posts things of what’s happening. But when you ask a friend with whom you’ve not had contact in a long while how are things, they just say things are going great without telling you the specifics.

Barbers Gossip? I never talk to my barber. That’s probably for the best.

did George go to see a ladyboy?

if this is just gossip to jim….I wonder what he is hiding…

Barber’s are a lot like bartenders, folks tell them things. Think the same thing is true of hairdressers (I ain’t gonna use the snobby term stylist, that’s just someone trying to make the job sound more fancy as far as I’m concerned).

Town gossip, more like.

Next time you visit Jim’s shop, give him this tip: “The part of that question generally left unspoken is ‘with you’”

Sausages.

Shave and a haircut…

Barber: A person who cuts men’s hair.No way any self respecting male would impart such goings on to anyone. Pastis is way off base with this one.

I always go to Jim for my haircuts.His gossip is a cut above the rest of the barbers.

He knows all the good parts.

In my experience barbers tend to have more hair.

Reminds me of the gossipy rabbi from Seinfeld who told all Elaine’s secrets after she confided in him.

Do they live in Seville?

i believe, originally the barber’s pole signified his other job as dentist, and to some extent doctor as well. the red standing for the blood involved.

Meat pies.Goat loves meat pies.

The juiciest gossip always seem to be about bad things.

There is a barber in Canyonville, Oregon the window of whose business declares him to be the Barber of C-Ville. While he is a cut above the rest, he’s a shear delight.

last time some us hippies sat in a barber’s shop was maaany decades ago. # hairy krishna

I had a trusted, regular barber, Italian, whom I went to for years, as did my Dad when he was alive. But when Frank the Barber retired, I started going to a nearby outlet of one of those unisex quick-clip barbershops, where I would not dream of divulging anything at all personal to one of the quick-cutters….

My barber’s place of business is called “The Chop Shop” — formerly an auto body repair shop. Lots of talk about ladies lingerie football and boxing but no chisme .

I thought his nams was Floyd…….

That guy should have been named Charles.
