Same little boy, walks into the same barber shop. His hair is getting Rangy, He still takes the same 50 cents, goes outside and brings back a tougher even Rangier looking kid. The big boy takes the dollar, the little one jumps his Cranberries for it. on the spot. The old men sitting around bet on the out come of the now happening scrap. Money is changing hands, The boys weasel in on the action. First a free hair cut for the winner. Then bet's on how goofy it's going to be. The scrap resumes. Now it is in earnest, who want's to go to school with a pink and purple Mohawk? It was a good fight. money made by all, who won. The barber, The kids, and those willing to bet a bit on the winner.
The local school board has a fit over the hairdoo of the looser, and starts a drug and alchol invistigation of the barber shop. Mostly old men who can't even hit the cuspiditor, with a spit.
They uncover a ring of dapravity beyond derscription, widdows, with gums, willing to take out their teeth, Old men with a perscription for Viagra, selling their services on Ebay. The feed lot, and the pig farm, are now under investigation for leud and selacious behavior.
Linny Longpole gets arrested for his 73rd rape of the school mascote, Barney the bull buffalo.
The boys buy a coke, split it, and savor the flavour, of makeing it all happen.
In a small town, cast your stones wisely, they are likely to come back.
Moral of this is, if you are a chicken thief don't bet on the outcome of a barber shop scrap.
Our tax dollars at work.
