“Slip Out The Back, Jack…”
Astrology in real life
Disappearing Pisces and the 28.5 year Saturn cycle…
“Just left the barber,’ the soldier said, yesterday. ‘Got my last haircut.”
“You say goodbye?”
“No, I didn’t say goodbye. I’m not telling them I’m leaving, I’m just leaving.”
“I see. Don’t like teary goodbyes?”
“No, I don’t like teary goodbyes plus I just like to slip into the woods when I go. Just disappear..”
“That’s what you’ll do to me,” I said. “Just be gone one day.”
“No I won’t do that to you. How am I going to do that to you?”
“You sure you’ll not do that?”
“Leave you? Hell no, it’s too much trouble.”
“Trouble?”
“Yeah, trouble. All kinds of trouble trying to leave you.” He started singing, “Because you are the magnet and I am steeeeeeeeel.”
I snorted.
“Yeah, plus I get 28 years of trouble if I do that. That’s what happened last time, 28 years of hell. Just look at what’s happened, I’ll be making that mistake again.”
“Okay, I’m relieved.”

Ha! Reminds me of when my folks moved after their retirement. My dad had been going to the same barber for about 28 years.
He woke up the day he needed a haircut in his new town and said “CRAP! I forgot to tell my barber I was moving!”
I think he called the barber, actually.
*lol* That’s awesome!!
i have been contemplating a clean break from my barber. she has been cutting my hair for about twenty years. A few years ago i started using another barber every other time. i was going to feather out of the old situation. i had a good reason too. he was a new client. but it didn’t work out. he was terrible. talk about a messy situation. so i go back and well she does a very good cut but she is starting to drive me nuts. so I will start scouting for a new one this spring. hilarious eh? i may not be on the same page as the soldier but at least we are reading from the same book.
