So I go to the barber the other day to get my hair cut. I mean classic barber shop here complete with the striped pole and all. This guy does a decent job and not the usual what you don't want a burr? I climb up in the chair and the guy starts cutting my hair. The usual barbershop banter is going on regarding the sad state of affairs in the world when on thier little TV comes a Michael Moore 9/11 movie advertisment. The somewhat enfiminate barber with clippers in hands and MY head in his chair says, "Oh, I can't wait to see that movie. I'm going to see it tonight. That man tells it like it is." My mouth opens up and then it hits me, NOWS THE TIME TO STFU! Bet you've had something similar? Tj |

Almost the same thing happened to me this weekend. I was at a club. A friend of mine was tending bar. He asked me if I was going to the that movie. I said "If I wanted to be lied to, wouldn't I be hanging out with my girlfriend". This couple of tree huggers overheard and as they were about to start in. I told them "Just Shut the fuck up. If I want your opinion I'll pull the chain" |
Restraint I am learning, like the time I'm riding with my three business associates in New England who are all anti-gun liberals and one says "Oh, I know that guy. He's a gun nut. I went to the range with him once. He had way too many guns like three of them and one was a GLOCK".  Like a Glock was some sort of super weapon.I literaly bit my tongue on that one.  Like your idea though and may call him up and ask him if he noticed any ticks in his shop since we had jut got back from camping.  Tj |
| Barber shop out here has all the Guns and Ammo and hunting mags on the rack along with a deer head mounted on the wall, and some paintings of old flintlocks. And this is in Kalifornia. It's the only place I can remember that my dad would take me to get my haircut as a kid. He liked BS'n with the guys there and talking about how fucked up the libs and dems are. I haven't been there in a while because I have my own trimmers and shave my head, but that was a cool place. |
