BARBER SHOP PRANK....

 

I guess men are not all that different from women when they go to get their haircut at the barber shop. We get to hear the latest news, gossip and political views from the barbers and the clients.
My barber was a classmate of mine while we were attending high school. A son of a preacher man that was very strict on his son. Jerry was a great singer and piano player. He could sing and play the piano just like Jerry Lee Lewis' song, " Whole Lot Of Shaking Going On."
His father was also a barber and had his shop in front of their house in a small building. One day he came into the house and we were up in Jerry's room and he was playing and singing, " Whole Lot Of Shaking Going On." Jerry's father hollered up at him to stop singing and playing that Rock and Roll. " Jerry if you must play and sing; do some gospel music."
Jerry did play and sing gospel music later in life with a Gospel Quartet he formed.
Once at Jerry's barber shop years ago, Jerry had a pair of trick glasses that he kept on the counter with his tools of his trade. Upon setting down in his barber chair he would take a person's glasses off while he cut their hair. When he finished he would clean the glasses and hand them back to the client. Paul, was finished with his haircut and Jerry gave him back his cleaned glasses. Paul paid for the haircut and put his glasses on and headed for the door with everyone watching. He was have trouble finding the doorknob with the trick glasses on. He replied in a very serious voice, "I THINK I'M GOING BLIND." Everyone's laughter gave Paul a clue that he had been had with those trick glasses. The funny part, the glasses looked just like the ones he wore.

DAD'S HOMEMADE ELECTRIC FENCE CHARGER

A funny story that happen to my late Dad years ago that always brings a smile to my face and loving memories of my Dad.
We were building a house for someone and the electrican was prewiring the house. John was a great friend of Dad's as well as the best electrican in our town. Dad was talking about going to the local Co-Op to purchase an electric fence charger after work to hook up to the fence he had just installed before he bought some pigs to raise. John spoke up and told Dad that he could show him how to made a fence charger that would only cost about $2.00. Man, Dad was all ears to hear how to made that simple device.
John's instructions to Dad on how to build the charger. Hubert, you go to the hardware store and get one of those keyless light fixtures that has two wire terminals and a place for the light bulb. You know the type, all older houses came with them as light fixtures. Dad said yes, I know what you mean. OK, Hubert here is how to made a fence charger, Get a drop cord with a plug on one end and on the other end connect one of the wires to one of the light fixture's terminals. the remaining wire connect it to your fence wire. Into the fixture install a 7 1/2 watt light bulb, made sure you use only a 7 1/2 watt bulb. Plug your cord into a 110volt outlet and you have a cheap fence charger that only comes on when something touches it, and zap it shocks what ever touches the fence. Dad can't wait to get home and fix his cheap charger.
Things go good on hooking the device up to the fence. Dad forgets, the important part, ONLY USE A 7 1/2 WATT BULB. Dad puts a 100 watt bulb into the charger. He decides since the charger is working to let Mom's hens out of there area into the larger lot.
The next morning mother goes out to check to see if she has any eggs. To her amazement Dad has fried 8 of her hens with that cheap charger. Dad didn't take much of the blame, poor old John got most of the blame. Dad bought a real fence charger that day.
