Hair dresser

WOMAN IN A HAIRDRESSER'S TALKING TO HAIRDRESSER WHO IS PARTIALLY UNSEEN.

WOMAN
Ok I want the layered cut that Kate Winslett had in Vogue this month, but I want it the length of Lady Ga Gas at the Emmys and with Beyonce highlights.

HAIRDRESSER
Winslett, Ga Ga, Beyonce got it.

WOMAN
I want it to say "You can buy me breakfast but it'd better come with an engagement ring."

HAIRDRESSER
Ring, breakfast got it.

THE HAIRDRESSER SHAVES THE WOMANS HEAD WHO SITS IN OPEN MOUTH HORROR. THE HAIR DRESSER THEN POPS A WET SPONGE ON HER HEAD AND ROLLS UP HER LEFT TROUSER LEG.

WOMAN
Where did you learn to cut hair?

You can buy me breakfast

I rather liked that for a reason that I can't quite fathom.

What's Morrace saying though?

I rather liked that sketch for a reason that I can't quite fathom.

I like it sooty but I feel you've left out a punchline at the end? an answer to the question? or perhaps a reveal?

Another cracking sketch.

Hows this for an ending?

-----

WOMAN: Where did you learn to cut hair!?

HAIRDRESSER: I didn't learn as such, I was born in to it.

WOMAN: YOU WERE BORN IN TO IT?

HARIDRESSER: Yes, both my parents were hairdressers.

HAIRDRESSER POINTS TO A PICTURE ON THE WALL OF TWO WOMAN WITH SHORT HAIR.

HAIRDRESSERS: That's them.

END.

I don't get this but feel I should, I'm guessing it's related to something in the news or something... hence the trouser leg thing...

Or possibly I am overthinking this...

Is it just as simple as he's a crap hair dresser? I think I'm focuing too much on the trouser leg thing...

I've had a bad day a work, my brain may have gone home already.

If it's anything to do with the news I retract my statement.

Whether or not sooty creates a punchline joke or not, I always laugh out loud at his characters and/or dialogue. His imagination is wildly original.

I'm assuming it's a barber's chair/electric chair juxtaposition?

The dialogue and then the visual twist works for me.

That's the way I read it.

Ah thank you for putting me out of my misery, that all makes sense now. And now I get it

It was worth watching the Green Mile.

Oh shit! serves me right for completely ignoring the wet sponge part.

This is the weird shit I tend to write, only not as funny as this.

Sooty, this is one of the best I've read from you. I'd say better than the 'drawn apart'.

Glad you all liked it. I enjoyed writing it sadly way more than my woeful topical stuff of late.

I'm writing to my own Dogme principles. .
