Its become a small ritual for me every so often to go to my local barber shop and chop it up with the fellows. That forty-five minute to and hour experience of waiting and a hair cut involves so many things. Its kind of like a man's spa where we get to let go and release all the tension of a troublesome world and even a hectic job life. You can say what you want to say and nobody judges you. Everybody has a right to an opinion even if its not a fact. The only godlen rule to remember is not to offend the owner and don't be afraid to leave a generous tip when you know your barber got you right.
Well this time at the barber shop was no different than the previous I walked in to greetings of whats up and hello. I took my seat as I waited. It was kind of funny because I already knew what I wanted to talk about before I walked through the door. Last haircut me and a few regulars were discussing the upcoming football season. Of course I had my chance to gloat in my Pittsburgh Steelers who are currently 3-0. It doesn't just stop at sports. We are quick to turn the news up when we see an interesting story. During this time you really have to be careful because one thing about barber shop talk is everyone is an expert.
Its kind of like a funny feelings each time I get ready to leave the Barber Shop because I know without one tape recorder or note pad just about everything I said while there will be remembered next time I come back. It just like that show Cheers. Sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name and their always glad you came and you can always find this at your local Barber Shop.
