    when DIY goes wrong

     



    some things should be left to a pro.
    case in point.
    looking in the mirror this morning i decided that i was getting a little shaggy.
    me- hey honey, cmere and trim my hair. heres the electric clippers.
    her- um ...ok.. BUZZBUZZBUZZZ
    me- hows it look?
    her- remember you love me!
    me- gimmie a mirror!
    her-you have to say that you will still love me.
    me- dont worry i will always love you.

    i look like an escapee from devils island with the mange!
    a hot rod is whatever i decide it is.

    Or did she say here's you're Valentines Day gift?!?!

    That's what I do...one haircut a year...over the winter months it sure beats wearing a woolly hat!
    But I don't cut it myself; I'm fortunate that my missus is a qualified hair stylist.

    I hear you Dave. Last hair cut infor me was before I got married 11 years ago (not that it matters much with what I have left).
