Inflation

You women can ignore this.

Men, I just paid $12.50 plus tax for a freakin' haircut. A haircut! Nothing fancy, just a reduction in length all around my head, and it cost me damn near as much as a tank of $2/gallon gas.

YEEEEEEEEESH!

Actually, back when I had hair, I thought nothing of spending $40 - $60 at a hairstylist (and if she was cute and had the habit of brushing past my arms with her boobs... which I think is a trade secret) I probably paid the same in the tip!

Now I just bought a razor and keep buzzing my hair.

How've ya been, man?

Hey, Eric, how are you?

We're gettin' along out here; the Hawai'i economy is declining just like everyone else's, and that's not fun, but we're surviving.

Oh how I would give my left leg to get a $12.50 haircut.

See, you go to stylists. My experience was at a neighborhood barbershop, with a pole on the door, six chairs, three barbers, six-month-old National Geos in the magazine racks, plastic letters in the felt-rack price list, and full-length mirrors on both walls.

Don't get me wrong, it looks fine, but the price!

Well you should tell women to ignore this! I just paid $40 to get my hair and the kidlet's hair trimmed. My colleague paid $40 for just her own. And we went to cheap places!

Grins. I'm well aware of the difference between the prices of men and women's haircuts. I've never understood it entirely, but. . .
