I had Denis cut my hair last night. I wanted to look good for new student orientation tonight. They come to a cookout at 6, then hear some presentations at 7. After that they walk the school building to familiarize themselves with the layout, find their homeroom, maybe get a locker, etc. It’s a nice way to ease into the year.
While he was blending the #3 on top with the #1 on the back, the guard on the clipper slipped up and off. Denis said, “Oh no!” Then he said, “Just kidding. Can you imagine getting a bald spot there? Heh, heh.” After getting the guard put back on, he went back to where he left off. Then he said, “Oh, no!” I said, “Heh, heh.” Then he said, “I’m not kidding.” Doh!
So I do have a little line the back of my head. It looks kind of like those bald spots people get when they have a scar on their head. Denis asked if we have a word for that. I don’t think we do. He said in Cebu they call it a pahak, and it’s something people get made fun of for. On the playground, kids will say, “Pahak! Pahak!” to someone who has a line like that.
I sure hope there aren’t any cruel Filipinos from Cebu at new student orientation tonight.
If anyone asks, you should say that you had brain surgery over the summer. That’ll shut ’em up.
Ahh yes, a lobotomy!
That’s the spot where the government inserted their tracking chip into your highly intellectual brain. They want to learn from the mighty intelligent Brad.
Actually, that’s what ringworm looks like … ewwwww!
Personally, I’d rather go with “Pahak!”
The first time I cut Harold’s hair (in 1996, when he had a bad Barry Manilow thing going on), I “accidentally” used a guard that was too short…
Maybe Denis is trying to tell you something…
Wasn’t there something on Jackass involving electric clippers?
you could try filling it in with a marker!
Oh! Good one! I’m always trying to get my husband to fill in his beard better with a Sharpie pen! One of these days when he’s napping…
