Once there was a crazy and wacky barber. He had red, white and blue hair! He always dressed like a girl. The place was torn up. His name was Jhonia. He had a nice chandelier but an ugly house. Once day he was cutting a girls hair. Then a guy came and he cut his hair he only charged him $1.00 because his haircuts were really cheap and dumb. Once he cut a half of a guys hair bald and the other side with hair as tall as the Sears tower. He always stuck his tongue out when he was cutting hair. One day he came late. Wait a minute, he lives there how could he be late? Don’t ask me I don’t know. He was going crazy. Then he noticed it was his own house. One day a lady came in she was waiting forever. Finally she came up and Jhonia cut her hair bald! She didn’t pay him nothing! After that, nobody ever came to her place again.
