138 Don't Catch a Cold

Angela bumps into her old friend, Ben, on the street.
(A=Angela; B=Ben)
A: Hey, Ben, you look as if you need a haircut.
B: Yeah, I will be wearing pigtails soon if I don't get my hair cut. But I hate going to the barber's.
A: Why don't you get a crew cut? That way you won't need to go to the barber's so often.
B: Better still, maybe I should go around bald, right?
A: Hey! That's cool!
B: You bet! That'll be so cool I might catch a cold.
A: No problem. Just wear a wig¹.
B: You know, Angela, you do actually have a sense of humor.
A: Well, when it comes to talking about your hair, what could be funnier?
B: Get out of here, you clown!
