Pat Gets His Head Shaved

During Pat's visit here last month, he realized his longtime dream to get his head shaved.  During a previous visit he went with me to my barber Gail while I got a haircut.  He asked her "Do you shave heads?"  She said she did.  He said "Next time I'm down I would like you to shave my head."

So that's what he did, he got Gail the Barber to shave his head.  Pat was looking for that Shiny Dome effect.  Guess what?  Didn't happen.  He and both of us realized, that to get that Shiny Dome effect one actually has to be bald.  And Pat isn't bald. He just likes his hair short.  Usually he get an .05 haircut.  By the way, I wish he would let his hair grow a little longer but he likes it very short. And it is his head so I guess I don't have much say.

What both of us found out about shaving the head of a person who is not bald, is that there are bumps and pimples one has to be careful not to cut or shave off.  And then when the shaving is complete, rubbing the head of a shaved person who is not bald, is actually painful.  No more the fuzzy feeling of bristles.  Rubbing Pat's head felt more like rubbing the most extreme sandpaper.

Needless to say, this is the last time Pat get's his head shaved.  He suggested that next time I get my head shaved.  No thanks.
