BUZZ
You know that I cut my long hair off. No ponytail.
Well, not me. Someone else did the cutting.
I went twice and had to endure the barber's dog licking my feet, the barber's yakking, and the barber's unwillingness to do what I asked.
"Number two plastic, no taper, no lowering the ears, no talcum".
In other words just buzz the damn hair.
He said that he hated doing an incomplete job. I told him that wasn't his problem.
I notice that he collected the full fee when I left.
So I had enough of the dog, the yak and the attitude and realized that for the cost of two unpleasant haircuts I could buy a Wahl shaver and have John do it.
After all, there is no taper. No neck work. No lowering of the ears.
So I bought the shaver and today saw its first use.
I think that the new barber (his first time at bat) was a little nervous but, really, the job almost does itself.
In less than five minutes I have just the barbering job I had to pay $15.00 plus tip for.
One thing though.
It turns out that I still got my feet licked.
Franklin.
