Ithaca, NY - Once again leaving it until the last minute, salon customer Paul Munn called to schedule a haircut and got an appointment for the next day. “I know people that have to book an appointment like two months ahead,” said Munn. “Maybe my hairdresser just isn’t that good.”
Worrying that his choice of hairdresser was perhaps a reflection of his own self-worth, Munn went on to say, “if I had to call a week in advance it wouldn’t be so bad. I mean, she does an ok job, and my hair is pretty easy to cut, but I’d feel better if I had to pay more.”
“Paul who?” said hairdresser Dana, who never gives out her age or last name “because of all the weirdo stalkers out there.” Dana very pointedly hadn’t given her last name to Munn, leading him to conclude she had placed him firmly in the “weirdo stalker” category.
At press time, Dana still had open slots either side of Munn’s appointment.
