Not so funny...

Preface: I have been given permission by said man mentioned below to share with you his recent humiliation and pictures were taken with express permission of said man.


Wanted: Red headed man who went in for a trim, but left the "beauty parlor" with a buzz job. A very bad buzz job. Have you seen this man anywhere?
He is quite harmless and a great daddy to two adorable girls. He works hard at the local ethanol plant and loves coffee and his wife. His only flaw is impatience when it comes to needing a hair cut. He simply could not wait until Monday when his regular lady was available... and this is what happened...
He came home begging me not to be mad about his haircut (while donning a cap to cover up the "new do"). He claims that he did not know what was happening until the very end... He did not have his glasses on and the lady had turned him around in the chair so he could not see what was happening.... (Never mind the feeling of having all of your hair shaved off the top of your head...) The most crazy part is that the lady told him towards the end that if the cut was not just what he wanted he could come back to his regular lady for a tune up the next week. (What is left to "tune up"?) When he finally took off his cap to show us, Emelia and I had such a hard laugh we were crying!
I think I am in big trouble... I am sorry honey... I promise to never to that again... At least until the next time my hair is too long and I can't wait until Monday...
So, then he says, well, maybe it will look better when I wash it... it always looks better when you style it yourself... Hmmm, I wonder? My best guess is that we will be singing Cock-A-Doodle-Doo about the time we leave for Jamaica in 3 weeks!
But, I promised to stay with my man, for better or worse... even bad haircuts:)

You are a great writer, on top of being a great artist! Since I haven't seen Ted for a while, and I don't know what his hair is "supposed" to look like, I have to say that it doesn't look that bad. :) At least he shouldn't need to get it cut again soon!

about us

The West Ranch currently consists of Ted, head Rancher, Angela, Ted's right hand woman, and two busy little wranglers, Emelia and Hannah.
