Hair From Where?

Hair from Where?
I cut a lot of hair at Salon International. Hair from here, there and everywhere. Europe is small and close together and in one show I was interacting with people from many nations. Hungary, Poland, Ireland, Scotland, Israel, Lebanon, Luxenburg, Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Russia, Sweden, Norway, Germany Just to name a few. Nearly all spoke English. All spoke enough “barber English” so as to be able to participate in one of my quickie on-stage consultations so as to get the haircut to their liking. Barbering has some universal language. Haircutting is very visual to begin with. They can all understand what they see me doing. Some just do not laugh at some of my jokes. Is that “American humor” or just language barriers.

Links I like:
Here is a map of Europe. Might help you find a few of these places. I sure needed it.:

Here is a link to Rosetta Stone. The ppl who make the language learning software. I have the Spanish one and I am trying to learn. This stuff works.

Here is the Wiki page about American Humor. This is interesting.
