Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 11, 2022

never bothered myself to ask my barber that

The barber hasn’t got much on top himself.

Finder’s fee for finding a flea?

I took my Dad to the barber. The barber asked what kind of haircut he would like. Dad was in his nineties and hard of hearing, so I told the barber he wants to look like Tom Cruise. Barber relied “Don’t we all.”

Haven’t been to a barber in years. Shave my head every few months.

The old joke is, a middle-aged man tells his wife he’s going out to get a haircut. On observing the advanced stage of his bare scalp, she asks, “Which one?”

must be that clear hair dye…….

That be me ;-)

Now let’s check out your ears.

The prices of getting a haircut for us Pluggers is ridiculous. There’s not enough up there to charge $20. 5 minutes and they’re taking your money.

My barber (my wife) keeps commenting on how much more open space there is on the top of my head, which is why I have her cut it short all over. Next summer I think I’ll have cut it to the nub and shave it.

Mad magazine did a cartoon about this: the guy in the chair has a full head of hair, then the barber lifts it and snips the one hair. “Fastest growing hair I’ve ever seen.”

I’m bald and beautiful…well bald and average anyway.

seems like the cost of a haircut should depend on how much hair has to be cut, but it doesn’t.

It’s getting almost impossible around here to find a ‘barber’. Lots of salons and stylists and whatnot. Barbers? Not so much.

Cheaper by the dozen?

We both have long hair. Mine is worn loose or up in a clip. His worn pulled back in a queue (pony tail) as he keeps long for 18th century reenactments. I cut our hair.

If my hair starts to feel too long I put it up in a pony tail, throw the pony tail over my head and clip off about as much hair as I think needs to come off – doesn’t matter if it is straight or a bit long/short as it up anyway.

If he thinks his hair is too long it is already in the queue and he tells me how much to cut off. Then I cut the short area of loose hair on the sides – one cut each side. Then I use the electric clipper on his neck.

So easy.
