I was laying over in DC yesterday and my Dad picked me up at the airport and we went to Henderson Hall to get a "quick trim" before dinner.

I only asked for a trim.

Now I look like a fish at A&M!!

Did your dad tell them how to cut it?

fish bites, get'em!

Well - you have a number of potential legal causes of action open to you. Starting with the most promising:

In Contract: You asked for a quick trim and were scalped instead - thus the barber materially breached your haircut contract. But, to collect more than the $6 you paid for the haircut would be difficult because of certainty and forseeability issues. However, if you had a few women prepared to testify that they planned to sleep with you - but changed their plans after seeing your bald head your chances of a larger recovery may improve on the theory forgone poontang.

In Tort: An intentional battery claim is where the big $$$ will come from - it allows you collect punitive as well as compensatory damages. You consented to a trim - not a total removal of your hair. The code of the Cosmotology Board in that jurisdiction may impact your case here as well.

Constitutional / Civil Rights Claims: Because this happened on a government military base you can argue it was "state action" - thus giving rise to a myriad of constitutional claims including violation of equal protection, depriviation of due process, or possibly the impairment of your right to free excecise of your religion. You have a federal case here - and you can take it all the way to the supreme court.

Now for the most important part - MY FEE:
Please remit me:
$2 ( 1/3 of your expected $6 refund from the bad haircut)
$100 - a 1/4 hour pro-rate of my normal billing fee

Thanks!!

reason #90 why people think lawyers suck.

First off, never under any circumstances, unless you are active duty military and being deployed to a combat zone, everget a haircut at a Marine Corps Barber Shop.


I made a similar mistake when I went to Jump School at Fort Benning. I needed a haircut. I mean, really what LT right out of OBC doesn't, right? I sit down in the chair, ask for a High and Tight, not thinking that a Fort Knox O-Club High and Tight might be different than a Fort Benning BOQ High and Tight. Nothing like being an LT bombing around Jump School looking like an Aggie Band Fall Semester fish. Not a good look.

Ask for a "low regulation" and you'll fare better.

You were at Henderson Hall?

Oh the days there... I live at Ft. Myer!!!

Southlake, at least now you can get an extra 3 minutes of sleep that you won't waste on doing the doo. Plus, you'll save a ton of money on hair care products.

Yeah, I bet I was set up by my Dad!!

But, it was nice to just towel off after this morning's shower and hit the road!

So you had two showers today?

Unless you use either the terms "low-reg", "medium-reg", "high-reg", or "high and tight", they basically do whatever they want to do.

Live and learn...welcome back to phase 1. Don't forget to button that top button on your blouse.
