Guy
Vanity
This afternoon I went to my hairdresser, a charming man with a lovely French accent.
Another hairdresser, a lady in her forties, came up to me, she touched my hair and she said: “You have such lovely curls. It’s not only the curls – it’s also the color. And you don’t need the color; you don’t need the curls. You are a guy.”
I may suffer from vanity, but this remark augmented my happiness.

The story is like a scene of an eighties movie, i guess its not the hippest hairdresser in NY (so that makes a nice scenery). But only you of our generation can go there now because of your indestructable hair and because of the stories you can pick up because of that. Now i know why a lot of writers have a bad hairdo and less stories, it all comes natural to you, Arnon. And that is why we mortals cant be traditional, have to be hip, so cant be timeless.
Do you get tired of people praising you for your hair sometimes?

I have a weak spot for your nose.
Mieke
Is your weak spot a nose too?
Careca
Too bad, but mine looks quite ordinary.
Arnon
Sie haben nicht nur schöne Locken, Sie haben auch die Gabe der Vorsehung
Hair
Arnon, you are not just a guy! Doesn't she know that?! I hope they don't mess up your hair there. If they do, cry out for help here. We all can help generating some negative publicity for this barbarian hair dresser!
Mieke
Thats ok when its your only weak spot.

You never said that I have nice hair or beautiful hands, not once.
You used my body in the most degrading way and then you sent me home with the words: "You are not stupid."
I went to the hairdresser last Saturday. I said, like always, "I'm balding". Normally the hairdresses replies with "get out of here! Are you kidding me. You've got such a full head of hair".
Last Saturday I went to another hairdresser than my usual man (he was occupied, I was needy). This hairdresser said "Yes, I saw that you're balding, but it's not that bad".

You are my favorite whiner.
How is your sister?
A colleague of mine, although he is not at all a racist, still maintains very strong doubts about people with red hair. They are all successful sex hungry beasts, he proclaims.
(So forget about niggers, Jews or Italians: the redheads have it !)

You are the type that looks swell balding.
Arnon
Flinging about flatteries of that kind while being full of lust would have sounded a bit dissonant, don't you agree? I focussed on other parts of you and me. I'll try to throw in the odd compliment the next time we meet, though, if it makes you feel better.
@Arnon: My sister is on the betterhand. I still think she could use some excitement in her life. When are you going to propose?
@Mieke: You are too kind.
@Bernard f: I don't think there's any successful redhead apart from D. Trump and N. Kidman. But we remain sex hungry beasts.
Dens
When can I meet her?
