Some guys are made for fishin’ and huntin’ and some guys are, well not. I’ve this good friend that I’ll call Buddy. Buddy always fixes his hair EVEN when we’re just headed out to the lake. Seems he thinks he might meet a fishin’ lady and he wants to look his best at all times.

Buddy’s a little different than my other fishin’ buds, he’s a little more ‘artistic’ if you will. He believes in ‘individual expression’, Man, can’t believe I’m saying this. He’s even expressed interest in going to  beauty school.

I had to ask him ‘exactly’ what that meant. He was way over my head when he told me that he wanted to learn how to ‘do’ hair.

I had to ask, “You mean, like how to do a buzz cut?”

“No man, I want to do ladies hair.”

Right then and there he lost me. Couldn’t imagine why my fishin’ bud would want to do that. I had ‘strange’ thoughts and wondered about all those weekend long fishin’ trips we’d been on.

He elaborated: “I want to bring my talents out, learn about cuts that flatter and products that help hair do what you want it to, about the right colors for the right skintones.”

Then I noticed his big old grin.

“Had ya, there, didn’t I? I just want to meet women! Lots of women!

We both had a big guffaw over that one. Only thing is, he was serious. He’s headed there this fall with the intention of learning all he can, so he can get his hands on women.

I just shook my head. Some guys will do anything.
