“Hmmmmm……What are we going to do with your hair today
darling?” asked the man behind the barber chair. “I was thinking we’d poof
it up here and then wrap the back around this way giving a simply fantabulous
effect. What do you think?”
“Well…….” the woman sitting in the chair said apprehensively. “I’m not sure about that….I just wanted a simple cut. Nothing fancy.”
“Well we can do it my way, and you’ll look 20 pounds lighter, or we can do it your usual outdated, and may I say, boring, way and you’ll go about your life in a stupor….It’s your choice…..Whatever you want to do….” said the fairly effeminate man.
“Your way it is!” the rather large woman said in an excited tone of voice.
“Excellent! Wonderful! You’re going to look absolutely smashing lady…..Let me tell you….You’re going to love it….You will….I promise you!” he said in a sure voice. “You know….Betty was apprehensive at first when she got this cut, but she’s a brand new woman now….Why? Well because of the cut you silly billy you!”
“Who’s Betty?” asked the woman sitting patiently in the chair as the hair dresser went to work.
“Who’s Betty?” repeated the hairdresser. “Who’s Betty? Oh dear…..Dear, dear, dear, dear….She’s only one of the most famous women around these parts. The next thing you’re going to say is that you’ve never heard her story.”
“Well actually…..” the woman started.
“Anyways, I’ll tell you….” he started. “It was January 25th……The year was 1967…..Betty lived here in this small New England city you’re getting your hair cut in right now. She was a normal woman. She had seven children and her parents were living with her after the death of her husband….You know….She never really did talk about her husbands death much now that I think about it….”
“The story…” the woman said.
“I’m getting to it doll…..Sheesh…..Calm down.” the guy said. “Now where was I? Ah….Yes…..So she was at home with her family and it was right after dinner and she was in the kitchen cleaning up. All of a sudden the lights flickered in the house and then went out. Before you know it this reddish light comes streaking through the kitchen window, and honey, if I was her I’d be scared out of my skivvies here.
“So she runs into the other room to calm down her kids while her father goes into the kitchen to see what the big hub bub is and what does he see? Well girl, he sees these little, tiny beings walking up to this house in this hopping motion. Now, before he can do or say anything, these figures walk right through the wooden door! They don’t open it. They walk right though it! Whew…..If I wasn’t scared already, I’d be scared then…Let me tell ya….
“Hmmmm….Really? What happened next?” the woman asked skeptically.
“Well…..Now the way she describes it, they were all put in some sort of…..Oh….I don’t know…..Frozen state, and could not move whatsoever. She said that there was about 5 of these creatures in the house….The apparent leader was about five feet tall or so while the rest were about four feet tall. They had these fruit-like shaped heads, wide eyes, and a small nose and mouth….The weird thing is, they never spoke with their mouths. Ain’t that weird? I think it’s weird. Apparently they could speak with their minds or something…
“Anywho….These things are in the house and everyone’s frozen. Yet strange enough Ms. Betty has this weird sense of calm. I don’t understand it, but what else is new? So they end up taking Betty, and Betty alone, outside to their craft where Betty says they apparently meet up with some sort of other craft and experiments are carried out on her while her family is “safe” back at home being watched over by these aliens or whatever….So about four hours or so goes by, and she’s brought back to find all her family still in that frozen state….All these being leave after Betty is brought back, and soon enough everyone comes out of whatever trance they were in…..Nobody remembers anything of what happened until years after the incident. Isn’t that just the weirdest story you’ve ever heard?”
“’Fruit-like shaped heads’?” asked the woman.
“Is that all you heard?” asked the hairdresser. “Sheesh….The things I do for my customers……”
With that, the hairdresser goes back to work and starts regaling his patron with stories about the time he saw George Hamilton at the local Costco picking up Frankenberries Cereal and hard liquor…….
