It was a real barrel of laughs here yesterday. [View all]

Standing at the bathroom sink, shirtless, cutting my hair, shaving my beard off.

I had the right half of my beard buzzed off with the clippers when I noticed that my eyebrows were going all Andy Rooney like.

Now, I usually put a 1/8 inch guard on the electric trimmer to do my eyebrows. For some reason, I thought I had the guard on the clippers, but I didn't. So I hit my right eyebrow with the clippers. Shaved the eyebrow completely off. Completely. I have prominent eyebrows and eyelashes, so I looked like a different person.

I'm standing there with half a beard and one eyebrow.

Fuck.

Wife comes upstairs. Grabs my shoulders, and says "turn towards me"

NO.

Look at me!

NO.

She's turning purple and shaking because she's trying not to laugh.

I MADE A GODDAMN MISTAKE, OK????

Then, she started HOWLING with laughter. ALL DAY. Never seen her laugh so hard.

I shaved off my other eyebrow and the rest of my beard.

She's still laughing about it. Ha ha. Real funny.

I just told her...laugh now, because you won't be laughing next time I cut YOUR hair.
