My hairdresser knows I'm not one for small talk.

Over the decades I've had many different ones. I stay with those who know how to cut hair but who understand I'm not into small talk.

If I have something worthwhile to say, like how our government is running our country into the ground, well and good. But otherwise, we're both at peace with silence.

Anyhow, who wants to shout above the noise of the blow dryer?

Your hair looks beautiful!
