Blondie

I went to my hair stylist today to get my hair colored.
I walk in and she tells me she’s been thinking about my hair and she doesn’t want to do anything drastic to it, so she’s just going to give me highlights.

Embrace your inner sadist

I’m not a big fan of bugs, regardless of whether I’m on their territory, or they’re on mine.
That said, I’d much rather remove them from my presence than deal with them invading my space.

Apparently…
NO ONE WANTS TO COME TO MY [...]

Now, you’re just pullin’ my leg!

I had a strikingly handsome customer come up to the counter today and ask me the following question:
“The price on the anchor bookends you have… is that the price for the set, or just for one of them?”
Selling bookends separately…
Isn’t that a bit like selling the salt shaker without the pepper grinder?
I mean, I’m just [...]

Men as Pigs

Has anyone else noticed the recent TV commercials promoting the idea of “All men are pigs”?  Or is it just me?
The Klondike Bar commercial?  The hot girl wiggles by as a husband and wife are discussing something and the announcer comes on and states “So and So kept his eyes on his wife the entire [...]
