In Part Two,
I spoke of a dapper African American gentleman who was stuck sitting next to
the annoying talking lady. He was a very
nice man; too nice, and too polite to
make the annoying talking lady shut up.
This man was
very well dressed, well groomed and seemed in many ways to have impeccable
taste and style. Except for one flaw.
He had on
his right eyebrow, the only eyebrow I could see from my vantage point in the
seat behind the annoying talking lady, one very long eyebrow hair. The hair curled out and down and looked as if
it grew only a little more it would grow right into his eyeball.
He had a
rogue eyebrow hair and did not even know it.
The annoying talking lady did not notice. She was too self absorbed to
notice anything.
I could not
take my eye off the rogue eyebrow hair.
Surely a man
of his style, and taste, a man who could only be described as dapper except for
this one flaw, surely he would want to be told of the rogue eyebrow hair.
How does one
go about tactfully telling someone he has a rogue eyebrow hair that is most
disconcerting to anyone who sees it?
Finally I
could take it no more. Between the
annoying talking lady who would not shut up, and not being able to take my eye
off this rogue hair that threatened to impale the eye of this seemingly very
nice man, I had to take action.
I leaned
forward, tapped him on the shoulder and said,
“Excuse me sir, this may seem a
strange request, but would you mind very much if I just yanked that rogue
eyebrow hair of yours out of your friggin scull? It is driving me crazy!”
Well, actually I didn’t do any of that, but I sure wanted to!
Sometimes when I walk by a mirror in the sunlight, I see something I didn't know was there (like a wacky eyebrow!)
ReplyDeleteIt happens, unfortunately.
Keep smilin'...
That one lone chin hair that's only visible in a certain light.
DeleteThe unspoken things we wish we could say. But often better off if left unspoken. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised the annoying talking lady didn't yank it out. Or perhaps he was growing it just to annoy her.
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right!!
DeleteOnly if you know someone well can you get away with yanking out a rogue hair. Glad you didn't come out with this one, i think you might have gotten a punch in the nose!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I'd have wanted to pull it out too! Not sure If I'd have been able to contain myself ...
ReplyDeletesince they probably don't allow tweezers on flights any more, you'd have to take things into your own hands. :)
ReplyDeleteI see a trend here...you think about saying what you want to say, but you don't. Good trend too. A healthy approach.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
Hence the blog. Here you can say what you wanted to say but didn't and entertain us in the process.
DeleteI am a firm believer that eyebrows were created to vex people.
ReplyDeleteYou're having quite a few Walter Mitty moments on this trip.
ReplyDeleteYou are too observant for your own good, Joe!
ReplyDeleteOh, you crack me up, Cranky.
ReplyDeleteActually, getting old has its pitfalls and rogue hairs are just one of many. I personally can't see my own eyebrows, so I have to spend $$ to have them yanked out by someone else.
ReplyDeleteCranky you really need to learn one thing here.
ReplyDeleteDon't hold back. Tell us how you really feel! lol
I feel your pain. I found it hard to watch the end of 60 Minutes because of Andy Rooney's eyebrows. And he wasn't even dapper.
