Welcome to a new episode of Around the Block...
Today's episode is called "Joan's New Hat"
Jackie (a.k.a Cat Woman) and Kathy were out and about, stopping by their favorite java place, Jocelyn's Joe and Juice Shop, for their tall mocha sugar-free latte with low-fat whip and low-fat skim milk. Now. they were on their way to their weekly appointment for their weekly blow-out at Raul's, the local hair stylist. They agree that it's overpriced, but worth the time to have Raul, the sexy Latin hairdresser (and oil changer at Bernie's Garage, but only on Wednesday mornings) run his fingers through their hair.
While heading down the street, they spotted Joan, who was grumbling to herself and was obviously not happy. They couldn't wait to hear what's going on. Joan explained that she just came from Raul's and he misunderstood what exactly she wanted done to her hair. This lead to her stop and shop on the second floor hat department of the Block's Department Store. She just purchased this new green beret.
Jackie and Kathy knew that Joan never wears hats and prodded her for the scoop. Finally, Joan took off the beret. Only to reveal that now she had something totally different going on than her usual blond styling. She explained that she distinctly told Raul "I want it clipped all around." Raul thought he heard her say "I want clown all around." Another reason that Raul needs to keep the music to a low roar. After an hour, she found herself no longer a blond, but a red-head... Not just red-head, but clown red-head. She also has gotten stopped five times and asked if she did children's parties. Joan was not happy.
Meanwhile down the street, three members of the Society of Perpetual Hilarity had stopped to plan their next performance. Billy B argued for balloon figures, Marcel O argued for mime sketches, while Jack J fought for card tricks. Four hours later, they realized that they had missed the performance andnow would debate rather to deflate, feel their way home, or just play 52 card pick up.
Sometimes it must be fun to be your head !
