Seven Dollar Haircuts

A new hair salon opened up for business right across the street from the old established hair cutter's place.They put up a big bold sign which read:

"WE GIVE SEVEN DOLLAR HAIRCUTS!"

Not to be outdone, the old Master Barber put up his own sign:

"WE FIX SEVEN DOLLAR HAIRCUTS"

Don't mess with the Master.

That's great! A lot of people would simply sit and complain about the seven dollar haircuts.

By the way, I'm getting $5 haircuts from my hairdresser. She usually only has to trim the front, since I'm wearing the back long. If she has to cut all of it, then it's more money.

I like this! Wonder if the $7 place complained and whined and threatened until the other place changed the sign? It's a classic case of "don't tread on me" for sure.

That's a very clear and effective message, especially considering it's a simple word switch. I admire that.
