137 Going to the Barber's

 

    In the old days, going to the barber's was as simple as ABC. You sit down,the barber cuts your hair,
you pay, you leave and that's it. Nowadays, the hairstylist will ask you how you would like your hair done.
How on earth do I know? I'm no barber. So what do I do? I go to the same guy all the time. As soon as he
sees me, he says, "Same as before?" I reply with a smile, "Yes, please." In twenty minutes the job is done.
    For those of you who don't know what to say to the barber, just remember the two S's--short and simple.
When I was abroad, it always worked. Don't forget to give the barber a tip before you leave, though. It's
their custom. If you don't, make sure you don't go back or you might get something else cut as well.
