One bright day in cold October driving in his Caddy was old Ash Colter. Wheeling down Barker St. toward his kingdom thinking bout good things his money did bring him. Near mid Barker St. was a small barber shop, man named Kiley set the business up. To Ash's suprise at just ten o'clock there in the driveway was one of his trucks. Well old Ash knew there was work to be done but there sat his truck in the October sun. So he stroked his chin and thought tough thoughts. about how to handle such a breach of trust. Well back to the kingdom went old Ash Colter and watched the window where the trucks got loaded. He waited and watched for the said same truck he'd never get tired he'd never give up. Well after a while the truck rolled in and Ash called down to bring the driver to him. Soon the driver walked in with a sheepish grin found old Ash Colter with his hand on his chin, He said, "tell me son, you just get a haircut?" man said, "yes Mr. Colter I did sure enough." "Son you got it cut on company time!!" "Well that's when I grew it sir in my mind!" "You did'nt grow it all on company time!!" what's up? He said, "Mr. Colter I did'nt get it all cut!" |

Ethome, cute  Didya have a fight with a lawnmower? Get shaved while you were drunk? What inspired this cute piece? Didya wash your hair and it shrunk? Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |
