Do You Need A Silly Haircut?
With all the shenanigans that have been going on over the past few months with President Trump and Kim Jong Un, I noticed something that made them different. The hairstyles! Look at them. Trump looks like he has a drug-fueled banana on his head. Meanwhile, Un looks like he left the barbershop in such a rush he forgot to pay.
It made me think, have any other world leaders, particularly those with an aggressive outlook ever worn a dodgy barnet? (Barnet is Cockney rhyming slang for hair, Barnet Fair = Hair.) It doesn’t take long to see that I could be on to something. Adolf Hitler certainly had a strange fringe and his moustache was certainly different. In more recent times, Colonel Gaddafi sported quite something sprouting from the underneath of the various hats he wore.
There must be others too. I don’t want people to think that I spend my time studying the hairdos of Tyrants, but doesn’t it seem a coincidence? Rasputin, although not an official leader had desires of influencing a lot of Russians. He had a dodgy haircut or lack of.
I Have A Silly Haircut Myself!
This is Keith Flint from the band known as The Prodigy. Perhaps he wants world domination. He has the credentials as far as the dodgy haircut goes.
Although I have no desire whatsoever of achieving world domination, I have recently acquired a dodgy haircut. It’s all my own fault. I treated myself to one of those lethal looking contraptions that suggest cutting your hair at home is the way to go. If you are offered one of these devices take my advice and say NO! You may save money, you may be able to have a haircut when you want, you may think you’ll look like Paul Newman, trust me, you won’t. You’ll end up looking like a Dictator. If you don’t believe me, I can tell you, with hand on heart, you’ll look very silly.
I’ve posted a video below of when I let my poor, unsuspecting wife, loose with my buzzing human hedge trimmer. You can see the results for yourself. It was 6 weeks before I could leave the house. Dreadful, just dreadful.
It looks really dodgy but seriously? You don’t look like a dictator whatsoever. You ate simply Trev! The silly old sod.
You’re looking good. Perhaps you can bring Debbie to show up in a video one of these days.
Thank you Deborah. I’ve just found your message after a spambot hid it with others. I thought it was quiet. Thank you again.
Very cute
Thank you Sue.
I have to admit, I do believe, hair is a wee bit overrated.
Ha, thank you Leland.
Lol, ironic, delightfully funny. Enjoyed your take☺.
Thank you again. 🙂
Absolutely fabulous post, I just sat here and laughed at all those world leaders. If Boris had become PM you could have added him! Clever video too with all those flies! That nice little mowed strip on top of your head would make a great little landing strip – but not for flies I guess! 🙂
Thank you Jude. I’ve just found your message after a spambot hid it with others. I thought it was quiet. Thank you again.
Very funny but you know what, I did the same with my husbands hair just recently. I was trying to trim behind his ears when all of a sudden, what hair was left just disappeared. Fortunately he didn’t realise and I didn’t tell him!
Great, post. I’m sick and tired of paying three times too much for a haircut. I would certainly try to cut it myself but I can’t get my arms up as high as my ears so that rules out cutting my own hair. My son-in-law tried cutting his hair once over the garbage can, when he bent over the can, the guide fell off the clipper, he took it right down to the skin on one side of his head. His haircut needed a little touch-up job.
Yes, it’s a very expensive game these days, having a haircut.
Hey Trev,
Thanks so much for your excellent insight & humor. :-)) I’ll be back for sure!
Thank you. 😊
