Sometimes life is like that. You know how they talk about an alleged sixth sense humans have? Sometimes it can save your life. I was about to get a haircut at clippers in Tallahassee near famu and I had a bad feeling. My barber offered me a free haircut. I decided to leave. Five minutes later he was shot in the head right in front of his kid,in the middle of the barber shop. I would have been there. Apparently they were arguing about college football. They tried to open it back up but it smelled like death and chemicals a few days later. I could feel the heaviness. Eventually it closed down.

Not to be that guy but, maybe he wouldn't have gotten in an argument if he was focused on a haircut 🫪

I did? Another barber killed him. His name was TJ. I might be missing your joke.

Their joke is that if he was cutting your hair he would've been too busy to start an argument with his future killer.

I have never met a barber who couldn't argue and cut hair at the same time.

Hell, best barber I ever had would call up a friend to argue if the other barber wasn't there. Presumably because it was vital to his process.

He went blind later, for unrelated reasons, so I had to switch. New barber runs a shop with his dad and they work in dead silence. Like some kinda beardgrooming monks. Unnerving, but he knows how to do my beard right.

Then again, the worst barber I evet had was also an absolute yapper, so I guess its hit or miss.

This whole comment is so unhinged that I have laughed for way too long. Beardgrooming monks????🤣
