What a change
By a Recruit
Jeff returned home after a four year hitch in the
Navy. His best friend Chris had not seen him in all
that time. Chris had gone on to college and was
working for an advertising firm. When Jeff contacted
him he was eager to see him after all the years. Chris
wondered how much Jeff changed. As he remembered him
he was tall and lanky with an overgrown mop of red
hair. As for Chris he had put on some muscle and still
had his blonde curly hair. Jeff and Chris decided to
meet at their favorite hangout back in school-The
Dugout. It had not changed much over the years and was
a favorite spot for the teens and college students. As
Chris sat in a booth waiting for Jeff to show up
another friend Rick came in. Chris had not seen Rick
in two years.He had changed his hair was clipped
short and showing signs of thinning. He was surprised
to see Chris stil with the same style. And sat down to
wait for Jeff as well. Neither saw Jeff come in as
they were talking. And even when he came upto the
booth neither recognized him at first. But then they
did and were shocked. For Jeff was not just taller and
much more muscular but gone was his curly red hair.
Instead,he had nothing more than a fringe of red hair.
Rick was as much surprised as Chris. The three each
ordered a sandwich and drink and went over old times.
Rick and Chris were taken back when Jeff brought up a
wager made between the three of them after high
school.Chris and Rick had forgotten all about it. At
the time the three were joking about who would end up
bald first Chris,Rick or Jeff. Rick had said "I
probably will lose mine before either of you." The
three pledged whomever went bald first would get his
head shaved with the other two. What a shock to
realize it was Jeff who was no sporting a full blown
case of MPB. And he was intent on making the wager
good. The three decided to have a few beers to build
up their nerves. Than it was off to a barbershop where
Jeff anounced " shave me bald and my two friends will
be having the same." at first Chris and Rick thought
Jeff was kidding. But soon realized he was dead
serious as the barber removed his fringe lahered and
shaved him smooth. Rick followed suit since he was
already showing signs of going bald anyway. And
admitted he had been considering it. Soon his auburn
locks were gone and his head gleamed as did Jeff's.
For Christhe choice was not so easy he still had a
good head of hair and was not looking forward to
seeing himself bald. But with the two of them egging
him on Chris relented. Afterall, it would grow back
and even his fiancee Linda would just have take him
bald for awhile. Afterall, it wasall in fun. As Chris
took to the chair the other two chuckled as the thick
blonde hair was quickly buzzed from Chris's head. As
the barber lathered him up, Chris was liking the
change. When he saw himself bald he admitted he liked
it.Infact, all three looked great with their bald
heads. They paid and left. As they went out the door
Linda passed by and then realized that Chris had now A
BALD HEAD.She was in awe and told him "That is
fantastic Chris can I rub it?" She did and Chris
discovered being bald by choice might just be fun for
awhile.As time went on both Rick and Chris retained
the shaven heads and Jeff kept what he had left shaved
off as well.Three bald buddies.
