Humour at the Hairdresser

silk flowers at the liquor store

Daughter L and I were sharing humour that we experienced at our respective hairdressers recently. At my hairdresser last week, an older male customer walked in and greeted the older esthetician, 'everytime I see you, you look ten years younger!'. The assistant and I looked at each other and smiled, that was a good one!

Daughter L said her hairdresser, he has an adult daughter if we are to guess his age, was discussing artificial intelligence with her. He said he was in Walmart one day and lined up to cash out with his regular cashier. He heard a voice 'young man, come this way, I can take you here'. 'Young man!' she repeated trying to get his attention. He said he looked left, he looked right, there was no other man there. 'She must mean me!' he realized. He continued, 'I was so flattered and happy, that really made my day! That is one thing artificial intelligence cannot do, it cannot make you feel as good as I did that day!'

  4. Awwww... That’s so cute! I was congratulating my uncle on almost making his 98th birthday this month. He said, “You’re so young.” I had to laugh out loud. I guess it’s all relative.

  6. Cute story - and what we give out - that lifts someone up - comes back to lift us up. I love the way that works.

  10. Sometimes a word or a gesture makes our day. I always try to "make someone's day", if even it not always turns out successfully.
