I don't know what's so funny about people, but the fact that he "turned round and glared at it menacingly" made me laugh hilariously. Like yes, it was the cement that tried to purposely trip him. Reminds me of when I was young and ran into a chair leg and started crying. The parents would hit the chair, like as if it would make me feel better to see the chair get punished. They were right. It did make me feel better.

I always stare menacingly at the thing that tripped me up. Not that I trip often, errr….I mean….it's just that it wasn't there the last time I walked that route. And whoever is responsible for it being there NOW…is rude. No pic of the haircut?

What is this "Supercuts" you speak of?

I have an amazing personal stylist who walks two steps behind me at all times in case I have a hair emergency. I once had a rabid raccoon attack my hair as I was headed to an important lunch date at McDonald's.

My stylist immediately came to the rescue.

There's such a thing as "counterfeit aftershave"?

Do they sell them from the inside pockets of long dingy trenchcoats or the back of a beat up old Chevy Impala there too?

The girl who cut your hair sounds interesting, and your description made me want to hear more.

I scarcely ever get my hair cut for very obvious reasons, but when I do I usually go to one of the salon type places.

Barbers don't tend to understand the nuance of "trimming" long hair. It's a distinction the stylists understand.

I loved your diversion with the sad fate of the mosquito… though I didn't actually hold one bit of sympathy for the *expletive*.

Pleased with your haircut? Seems unimaginable. I think I can count on both hands the number of times I've be "please" with a haircut.
It doesn't seem to matter where I go or how much I spend, it's always the same, or at least never what I asked for.
What's so damned hard about making me look like Robert Redford?

Did you get a good scalp massage with those long nails?

I feel strangely let down. I’d been expecting the punchline to be that you’d been given a blowjob by the Polish (at least Eastern European) barber (either the girl who cut your hair or the owner).

I am not sure why I was expecting this: for some reason the narrative seemed to be heading that way.
