2121<\/b> Technical Trespass On Mustache<\/b><\/p>\n
Mastro Stefano, a seventy-year-old mill worker, was excessively proud of his mustache, a huge pair of handlebars. He went into a barber shop, was snoozing in the chair, and the barber cut off the famous mustache. Mastro Stefano sued the barber for two thousand dollars damages. He told the court that it was a beautiful mustache, and that it had taken him forty-seven years to grow and train it. <\/p>\n
The barber said: \u201cIt looked like walrus whiskers. I thought I was doing the community a favor.\u201d<\/p>\n
The court awarded Mastro Stefano twenty-five dollars damages on the ground that he had been the victim of \u201ctechnical trespass on the face.\u201d<\/p>\n
2122<\/b> Barber At Mexican Border<\/b><\/p>\n
We were reloading our car in the parking lot of the immigration service in Laredo, Texas, when a long-haired young man holding a pair of scissors approached. \u201cCan anybody cut hair?\u201d he asked. \u201cI can\u2019t get a Mexican tourist visa until I get a haircut.\u201d<\/p>\n
A gray-haired woman in the car next to ours volunteered, but only after she had taken full account of his striped flared jeans, bare chest and peace beads. As she snipped and clipped with obvious pleasure, the fellow bemoaned the locks falling around his bare feet. A small circle of amused tourists gathered to watch the impromptu barbershop. When someone remarked that a haircut was worth $2, he groaned even louder. <\/p>\n
As she finished cutting, the woman said, \u201cHaircuts are only $1.75 in my hometown, but this one is worth $2\u2014to me.\u201d And she handed the surprised young man two one-dollar bills, climbed back into her car and drove off. <\/p>\n
