There is a reason for this bit of unfriendliness. It’s not that I want to be anti-social; I just
tend to be inquisitive and want to hear what the other customers are
saying. You can really pick up some
interesting tidbits in a Barber Shop.
Now, this Saturday, I went to get my ‘ears lowered’, as a
friend describes a hair cut. I nodded the
usual greeting, to my Barber, and sat in the chair. The occasion was rather timely because, only
a moment earlier, the next chair had received a patron; he and his Barber were
already in conversation.
