OK - I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT!

 


I went shopping and to the tip today but on the way called in at a barber shop for a haircut.

"You're getting shaggy Matey" said The Old Girl so I thought I'd better get a trim.

The largish Polynesian woman asked me what number haircut I wanted. I wasn't sure as I don't think of haircuts in numbers. I just wanted a trim and a tidy-up. Thinking that a number one would be too severe I played safe and asked e for a number three thinking that this would be just a trim at the edges.

As you can see in the photo above the number three must be the official number for the US Marines. The Fulda Gap here I come.*








* Mind you, with this looming Trump government, USA might be fighting wars in Palestine, Syria, Panama, Greenland, Mexico and Canada.

For Pete's sake. What did The Old Girl say?

Richard (of RBB) said...

Actually, I think it's a good look. Well done, that man.

She said "Crikey - but at least most of it* will grow back in a month or so".




* Maybe some of it.

No. It looks fine. Leave the wooly hat and you are ready for Wellington.

I always use a number three too. I really don't like that Luxon shaved look. Your fine.

Did Peter get a fine? What for?

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Yes, from the fashion police.

Okay. Robert's grammar was correct then.
