Welcome to SBG, Dave!!Hair Today, GONE PECAN Tomorrow was my big
SLY step, Dave.
No one had a clue.
NOT family,
NOT co-workers,
NOT friends...
NO ONE!! (Come to think of it...not even
ME!!)
Brought my son to get
HIS hair cut one evening and we were the only customers in the place.
I grabbed one of the other hairstylists who was busy chatting with other stylists in the shop and said
"Do me a favor...Shave me BALD!!" Originally she thought I was joking, then admitted she never had that request before from a customer. Once she knew I was serious, she agreed to take it slow, and we got down to it. The little bit of hair she did miss, I later said good-bye to, once i was home and in the shower!!
Upon completion,
my son was in total shock for one, followed by my
wife and
daughter as I returned home, opened the front door and said
"Boo!"Co-workers (
I work for the local Fire Dept.) had more of a
"that's just like you to do something like that..." type reaction, but I've remained
SLY for
two years plus and counting, NEVER having any
regrets, nor giving stubble more than a day or two of growth. And it had to be a pretty dam good reason for me to go through a day without scraping the ol' melon.
(Normally, I am a twice a day shaver)Proud to say that since that first week, my being SLY has been universally, widely accepted by friends, family, co-workers, etc.Once in a while, if I happen to nick myself rather badly while shaving, my wife may say...
"Just grow it back and you won't cut yourself anymore...", but she knows very well that I
won't!!
