In a recent conversation with Prickly Pete, he mentioned to me that Jim Morrison predicted his on death. Being a big fan of Jim Morrison and the Doors, I did a little research and below is a quote I found from Jim Morrison after the deaths of fellow rock legends Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix:

“I’m number three.”

On Sunday I went to get a haircut. Not that this is a milestone or anything, as I go every couple of weeks. However, this visit I left with a little less hair, a little less money, but a bit more entertained.

As I was called to the chair, I noticed the barber looking at, what appeared to be notes on the counter. No big deal. A list of items to pick from the market, dry cleaning list, maybe even tip amounts. Bottom line, who knows at this point. As I settle into the chair, I get my first taste of the stand-up comedian/barber. I’d been in the chair 30 seconds when I get “How ya’ll doin’ tonight?” Well, it’s 11:30 am on Sunday morning and I’m the only person in there, so there’e no ya’ll and no “tonight”. As time passed, I received a trim, a few “Man walks into a bar” jokes, a couple of the Seinfeld-type observations of life, and a few jokes that I had no idea what the punch-line was meant to be.

As I paid my bill and left the shop, I couldn’t help but realize how much I had actually been entertained by a barber. It even made me feel a little better about handing over my $12 bucks.

So, I’m grabbing a bite to eat with Prickly Pete, Snoopy, and the rest of the usual suspects (no, these are my real friends) last week when the moment comes and the bill arrives. I’m sure we’ve all been in this situation. The bill comes, it gets passed around and everyone ( yeah, right! ) drops their anity into the pot. I bet you can guess where this is going.

Sure enough, we came up short. Now, lets cut to the chase and make this a short post. You eat, you pay. Simple as that piece of pie you had!
