Stoney Jackson sportin' the Jheri Curl Mullet
Good morning!
Yesterday, I really needed a good laugh. I had some house maintenance issues going on that had me LIVID, amongst other things.
Where did I go for my laugh? Mr. A. When I am extremely exhausted, I get rather loopy. EVERYTHING makes me laugh. Things that normally would not have me laughing have me in hysterics. For some strange reason, I was thinking of Jheri Curls. I had those old "Carefree Curl" commercials - the ones that used to air during "Soul Train" - in my head. Y'all remember the slogan - "Get tuff! Get tuff enuf!" Carefree Curl's activator was the key to that. I won't know CC; the activator cream has done the best to bringing out my natural curl pattern. I just stopped using it about close to a year ago since I went this short. NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE A CURL. I just used the cream.
I called Mr. A., and I said, "Did you ever have a curl?" Now, you know that he cussed me out because he sensed that I was asking him that question for the sheer hell of it. The first thing that he said was, "Have you been drinking?" I replied, "Absolutely not. It is a dry house here." The conversation proceeded as followed:
ME: Did you have a curl?
HIM: HELL NO. I didn't even date women who sported a curl back in the day. When those sh**s first came out, I only had two sets of sheets, and you know how hard it is to wash that mess out of your clothes?
ME: By this point, I am hysterical, but I continue to ask the questions.
HIM: Back in the day, try going to the club, and someone accidentally hits your glasses with one of those flyaway curls. You'lll spend the rest of the night trying to get that mess off of your lens.
ME: I am all over the bed at this point
HIM: Are you there?
ME: Do you know anyone that still wears a curl?
HIM: Hell yeah.
ME: Do you know anyone that wears them at home (his home state)?
HIM: YES. This person couldn't even grow hair (you know the curl will grow your hair), and I'll be damn if he didn't have hair down his back.
ME: Do you know any choir directors who wore a hand towel around their neck to protect their robe from the curl?
HIM: YES!
ME: You know that I asked you these questions on purpose so that I could get a laugh.
HIM: You know that I know that your crazy ass did this intentionally.
ME: I love you for it! Thank you!
Enjoy your Saturday!
