the $120 haircut

My insaaaane friend David Danzig pays $120 for a haircut. He makes a pithy argument in favor of this insanity, and I like to use the word 'pithy' here because most people don't know what it means and assume it means something quite opposite of what it does. And in fact that opposite meaning is really what I'm trying to convey, despite the fact that the actual meaning may be appropriate. But I'm not buying it.

Now I'm not saying the man doesn't need to get his haircut. This is what happens when he doesn't:

But $120? One Hundered and Twenty Dollars? For a haircut. This is a service which famously used to cost 25 cents, and that was with a shave thrown in too. Knock Knock.

Who's there?
Scissors.
Scissors who?
See zere's no raizon to be payzing vun hoondred und tventy dollars for zees haircut. Eez juzt ein haircut.

LMAO... I don't know what I am laughing more at, the knock-knock joke or the $120. Pass me a flowbee, and I'll cut his hair for just $100 bucks.

Dave isn't telling you about the blowjob that the hairdresser provides as part of the deal. (But it's still a ripoff!)

didn't clinton always pay $200 for a haircut?

[Jeff Shore]

$120!! Damn Danzig! How about this, the next time you need a hair-cut let Dav cut it for $20 and give the other $100 to http://www.eff.org/ ??

'Pithy' sounds like the opposite of what it means? I think just to you, Dav.

You so puissant.
