I am about to start posting a new series on the soldier that is infinitely rude but instructive. I have started writing (and getting my nerve up) and then today he shows his other side.

The soldier has had horrible and I mean terrible haircuts for 6 months. I wrote about the first one (Barberess) which was so bad he had to wait several months to even try to get it fixed and then he went to a barber here and another gal cut his hair - probably as bad as the other who can judge these kinds of things?

The point is his hair has been hideous and I do not exaggerate. In fact this has led me to tell him what people like you (yeah, you) say… that is, “The man is blah blah blah years old and still walking around with a shitty haircut.” Well let me tell you something: It is not necessarily his fault. And I don’t mind, thankfully. Because if I did mind I would have to kill myself, that is how bad his hair has been.

So he went back today. He went to the same barber as last time (they are close by) but intended to have the man in the shop (the owner) cut his hair rather than the woman from last time, who he thanked and over-tipped of course. I mean, the man is polite.

However this is not what happened. There were two women in the shop today…he had the number 5. The gal who cut his hair last time called number 4, and the man in front of him, obviously in the know told the soldier he could go in front of him. So what does the soldier do?

Well he climbs back into this woman’s chair but decides then and there… “Can you do a military High and Tight?’

She said she could, enthusiastically no less, so this is what the soldier opted for… he came home bald and I have to say it’s an improvement. I mean it suits him, he’s a soldier so what the hell?
