HOW TO PART YOUR HAIR WITH ATTITUDE
A lady woke one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she had only three hairs on her head. "Well," she said, "I think I will braid my hair today." So she did, and had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed she had only two hairs on her head. "Hmmm," she said, "I think I'll part my hair in the middle today." So she did, and she had a great day.
The next day, she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "I think I'll wear my hair in a ponytail." So she did, and she had a grand day.
The next morning, she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that there wasn't a single hair on her head. "Yea," she exclaimed. "I don't have to fix my hair today."
