Long overdue for a haircut, I made an appointment with a new stylist.
I got his name from a woman I accosted in an antiques store who had a great cut.  I held onto his name for a while, since I've been trying to get some length.
So I walk into the salon and the receptionist/hostess tells me the stylist will be right with me and offered me a drink.  The options being water, tea and wine... I decided that I was indeed in the mood for a glass of white wine.
Half way through the haircut, I realized that I hadn't eaten all day and the glass of wine managed to get me a little drunk!   Hooo!   Imagine that!
Of course I loved the cut.  Why wouldn't I?  I'd have loved the broom at that point.
The really strange part was leaving the salon realizing that I couldn't drive!   So I walked over to a pub and got something to eat.  (the best Eggplant Parmesan sandwich ever!)
Later, I told Kim about the tipsy haircut and she was a bit bewildered as to how the salon could afford to serve wine - then corrected her thinking by saying, "Well, I'm sure they make up for it in tips."
"No... " I insisted,  "I just gave him 20 percent." Then it hit me.  "Which I calculated on the price plus product!"
Ugh.  That wine wasn't so free was it!
(my apologies, this story is much funnier over the phone!)
