RUSH: Heather in the Claremont, Oklahoma, welcome to the EIB Network. Welcome.
CALLER: Hello. How are you?
RUSH: Good, thank you, how are you?
CALLER: Pretty good. Pretty good. I have a question for you. It kind of goes in line with your little diner with the nurses, the sexy nurses in the --
RUSH: Hey, hey, hey, hey! Don't call this place a diner. This is the Heart Attack Grill.
CALLER: Heart Attack Grill, okay. Well, I live in a suburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and we have an issue where there's a haircutting place for men in Tulsa called Eye Candy Cuts, and the haircutters dress sexy, short skirts, high heels, thigh-high stockings, you name it. Of course the neighbors are upset about it, even though you can't see into the business when they're cutting hair, you can't see --
RUSH: Wait, I want to understand this. The name of this business, the name of this establishment is Eye Candy Haircuts?
CALLER: Correct.
RUSH: And it's for men, it's a barbershop?
CALLER: It's for men. Correct. So now they have a group that is lobbying the state board to try and get the dress codes for hairstylists to be changed so that they're covered from shoulder to knee.
RUSH: You see how wound we are? We're just wound so damn tight. You wonder why people don't realize we have an enemy that's trying to wipe us out, they get upset about this?
CALLER: I know.
RUSH: This is just --
CALLER: I just thought you would get a kick out of hearing this and to let you know that it's not just in Arizona, that it has actually made it to the heartland.
RUSH: Let me tell you something out there, Heather. This is not new. Businesses have been doing this forever. Ever heard of the Playboy clubs?
CALLER: Exactly.
RUSH: This is not new. It has been going on since biblical times. It's been going on since caveman days.
CALLER: I know.
RUSH: This is just human nature. There's nothing more than entrepreneurism. But we're wound so tight that we can't objectify these haircutters by dressing them this way. Of course nobody's worried about the insult it is to men.
CALLER: No.
RUSH: Nobody worries about that. Oh, the best way to get a man to part with his money is to show him a little titillation.
CALLER: There you go. Show a little leg.
RUSH: Well, if I were one of these wound too tight little SOBs I'd be leading a movement to stop this on the basis it's offensive to men, it's objectifying and it's stereotyping us. This is absurd.
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: It's obscene. People just... Nobody has a sense of humor anymore.
CALLER: No, they don't.
RUSH: And if somebody's having a good time then somebody needs the Fun Police to show up and stop it. As long as nobody else is having a good time, nobody can have a good time.
CALLER: That's right. Exactly. I just thought that would be a good story for you to tell.
RUSH: Let me ask you a question, Heather. How many women have tried to get into this place to get their hair cut, just to see the competition?
CALLER: They actually did a little story on it on the news, and pretty much anybody can go in there and get their haircut, as long as they're not a child. If they're over 18, they can go in and get their haircut.
RUSH: Sounds fair to me. It doesn't sound like they're discriminating at all.
CALLER: You know, as long as they leave a tip. (Laughing.) They can get their haircut.
RUSH: You know, that's good because we had this story yesterday of the four-year-old sexual predator who's been charged with sexual harassment at some school for, you know, basically trying to hug the teacher's aide.
CALLER: Oh, yeah.
RUSH: All right, Heather. Thanks for the call. Thanks for the heads up.
CALLER: You're welcome.
RUSH: Appreciate it. We'll be back and continue. She didn't take a breath in that whole phone call, did you notice that?

There's a place by me, Sport Cuts, that has the whole sports motif and hot cheerleader-type babes to cut your hair. Except their haircutting expertise sucks real bad. I went one time with a coupon but am never going back.

Why worry about your bad haircut? Everybody else has to look at that. You got to look at the cheerleaders.

The guys at work asked if I I got it cut at the veterinarian.

True, except for one thing...you can find out more about what is going on in a smaller town by visiting the neighborhood barber than you can by a trip to the Pentagon.
Ray Bradbury in the Chicago Cubs dugout...
My barber was in the Marines. Yes, SHE was. Great place for an old school haircut.
> Exactly. Its the next best thing to having sex: having a beautiful woman mess around with your head.
I can relate to that. My wife cuts my hair.
Sometime, very shortly have we starting dating she said, "Sit down you look like a monkey".
I haven't been to a barber shop in 14 years.
I don't know where she learned how. I know she isn't professionally trained. Most likely that was the first time she had ever cut anyone's hair.
I'd have to say Lou Boudreau.
I think it's Cary Grant.
My Mom used to give all five of us kids haircuts when we were growing up. She just learned it from the booklet that came with her haircutting kit. Never got a bad cut.
Instead of a haircut, that just want a little "trim"?
So this guy sticks his head into the door of the barber shop and says "Bob Peters here?" and the barber says "no, we just give haircuts."
Rimshot!
