Thread: Important Info: Mind your own business

I know this wasn't meant to be funny but it is crackin' me up!

Yeah! I hate it when my barber has halitosis!

I completely agree with the sentiment. If you talk too much, you're less likely to be trusted. I'm one of those people that other people always trust with their personal info, even when I ask not to be trusted. Well, I'm really asking not to come to me with your problems but you get my point. I don't know why people gravitate to me with their issues but maybe I need to talk more..

Especially when the barber is female, good looking, smells good,.......... but has a bad case of garlic breath

Boy, Icedog is right; if this weren't so true it would be funny. I recently went to a barber who not only was a heavy smoker but his breath smelled like he ate sardines for lunch. I finally offered him a mint, which he initially refused until I told him he could either eat the mint or I would move to another chair right then, and told him why. He got really pissed, but I'll never use the place again. What do they teach those people in barber school?

One of my barbers was a Fascist. He would have concerned me if he was more than just an angry Italian.

But to the poster, it's quite entertaining- though I prefer the 'slouchy' one, third down on the right. Looks more casual and easy-going. I find having a hair cut to be an annoying inconvenience, and so I want the place to be light hearted.

The "Be gentle, they will remember you." is the one that got me rolling. It reads like a fortune cookie, doesn't it?

There's a story, maybe apocryphal, about a now dead (and in this quarter, at least, unlamented) Tory politician in the UK, Enoch Powell. He was waiting in the barbers for his trim and all the time the owner was cutting other customers' hair while emitting a constant stream of inane chat. When his turn came, the barber said to him, "Hello Mr. Powell, and how would you like your haircut?" To which he replied, "In complete silence."
