He can’t wait for her to go bald so she’ll stop wasting time and money on curlers.

“37, 38, 39,… What did you say dear?”

I stop at two…..

And to think, years ago SHE used to love to run HER fingers through his hair. [Remember The Brylcreme ad jingle?]

Not counting the one’s that land in her coffee.

If you can count it, you’re bald…

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

How quickly they forget…..

Reminds me of an old guy I saw in his car with a notebook completely filled with numbers. The exchange went like this:

Me – “What are you doing”

Him – “Calculating how many mpg I get”

Me – “You should know by now”

But every day, it takes less time to count.

Dang, now I have to start over.

Just do the old sweep across; and back and forth, and back and forth…
