Almost Cut My Hair
Actually, my regular guy wasn’t available so another barber did it. Badly. Thankfully, it’s almost grown out. A really bad cut. I’m so ashamed.
Say, what do you call those striped things anyway? For your cut of JACK Nation points, enter your response in the BONUS CODES section at www.925jackfm.com

Hey, no “Barber” Jokes! It’s my last name - not fitting though I can actually sit on my hair, which can have it’s own problems. I’ve actually walked out of a store with a clothes hanger in my hair (sadly no clothes were on it). I Should have kept my maiden name “Strong” and changed first name to Sampson. But hey, never hang your head in shame over a haircut - it grows back! Plus baseball caps always work well on guys. It’s funny when my sons get haircuts, particularly the one in the Army, he has to take the hat down a size or two because it’s too big on him with less hair! I don’t get it, I know he has thick hair, but does his head shrink too??

Hey Jeff…c’mere. Gotta ask you something. Kinda along the lines of MyJudi. Do you ever notice when you lose weight…like 225 lbs of unwanted FAT, ya feel good, no..GREAT!!!! But, ya find your face, and head seems to have shrunk, seriously, and , you can’t hold all the hair on your head anymore, ‘cuz it’s to damn heavy??
Even the ponytail comes down, and your hair is thick, and, you find you’re eating it with your meals, (not on purpose!!!) YUCK!
So you get it trimmed a little, and then you get it cut, a little, and then you get it cut ALOT, and then you get it shaved to the wood.
And, you just feel so much better about life in general?? Just wondered if you ever had that feeling??
It always grows back. Hmmmmm…?? Perplexing, no?

The origin of the barber pole is associated with the service of bloodletting.[1] During medieval times, barbers also performed surgery on customers. The original pole had a brass basin at the top (representing the vessel in which leeches were kept) and bottom (representing the basin which received the blood). The pole itself represents the staff that the patient gripped during the procedure to encourage blood flow.
The red and white stripes symbolize the bandages used during the procedure: red for the blood-stained and white for the clean bandages. Originally, these bandages were hung out on the pole to dry after washing. As the bandages blew in the wind, they would twist together to form the spiral pattern similar to the stripes in the modern day barber pole. The barber pole became emblematic of the barber/surgeon’s profession. Later the cloths were replaced by a painted wooden pole of red and white stripes.

Hey Jeff C., you have the best blog. Its easy to see that you enjoy it. Keep up the good work. Jeff Brown has the worst. I don’t know why he even bothers. Maybe management told him to do it, so he’s doing his worst.
