I struggled for a long time to think what the last photo reminded me of, and I think it is "Planet of the Apes" hair, except theirs was swept back neater. No offence, I trust. <BR/><BR/>I get a hair cut about once every five weeks, so I have little tolerance for unruly hair. However, I knew of a senior air force officer in the 1980's who (I am not making this up) went to the barber at the base once a week. I suspected the barber must have done what they do with little kids sometimes: just clicked the scissors together over the hair, pretending.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108945551064939734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-88787414066389873712007-07-25T22:11:00.000+10:002007-07-25T22:11:00.000+10:00What, are you trying to turn me into a character o...What, are you trying to turn me into a character out of 'Knocked Up', or something?
