the stylist lady with breath like a million-year-old coffee cup said, "Do you get your eyebrows trimmed?"
I said, "No, I'm not to that point in life yet."
She clicked her tongue and said, "Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you but. . . they're ready."
Thanks, Betty. Thanks a lot. Here's your tip: Keep your mouth shut when you're cutting people's hair.

This post begs the question- Did trimming occur? :)
My Dad used to have eyebrows like wire ! When he'd ask the "Betty's" of his barber shops, there would be a sigh, and out would come the heavy duty scissors ! One guy even used the big toenail clipper !
PS ... I love the "tip" !
Well friend, I'd feel sorry for you, but my wife has been taming my unruly eyebrows for a few years now.
Wow Dan- I thought that one would go to the grave with you! Guess not :)
Do you remember Grandpa
Brown's brows ???
And Dad's are going that direction every day.
My Dad's weren't as thick but they certainly had the "long,scraggly"
at times. Think about this --at least you HAVE eyebrows !!
Mark...now Dan....crud I guess I will go look in the mirror now
She was worried about your eyebrows? Did she not see your ears, nose, toes, or back?
Next time we come to visit I think I need to visit your "stylist." I actually appreaciate that kind of candor.
Next time you go in there you should come prepared with a 25 cent pack of DoubleMint and when she breathes her fiery dragon breath on you, say "Do you ever chew gum?...Well, now'd be a good time to start!" Just be prepared for a crappy haircut after that...but a good story, nonetheless...LOL! Or, you could give her the pack of gum with her tip, say nothing, and let the gum convey the message for you....(I'm not really evil, just imaginative!)
