Last week, I noticed that my hair was getting a little long on my neck. My hair grows fast, and I notice it, even if nobody else does.

I knew it was time to go see Zach. My wife said, "Tim, you really don't need a haircut, but I'd rather you would go too often than never."

Then I heard her telling her sister on the phone, "Tim's going down to Thompson's again. Zach does a really good job of his hair, but I think he goes down there to get the 'news' as he calls it. Men don't gossip, you know."

Zach is quiet, but very friendly. He concentrates on his work, and he never repeats the news.

I enjoy seeing my friends at the barber shop though. Can you think of a more interesting way to spend a morning?
