HAIRCUTS

Went two or three weeks ago and got my hair cut. I'd wanted to let it grow out, but with summer's arrival, I changed my mind. So it got gone. Short all over but not in any style I recognized. A strand on one side curled up. A strand on the other side waved back to the mirror. My cowlick in the back stood straight up. Pretty discouraging.

So yesterday, I thought: Time for a change.

My beauty salon was crowded so I went up to the barber shop; they advertise family cuts so why not? Went in and asked, "Can I get a haircut?"

The lady said, "Sure. Step right back here."

Now I really look like Mark Harmon.

Do we ever get the haircut we want?
