How an Indian Barber Will Make You a Sinner

August 20th, 2009 by Brett Stuckel

Indian barber

Pride – My beard is a work of art, but he can probably make it sweeter.

Sloth – Sure, go ahead and clip the nose hairs.

Envy — The barber at the next chair over is better than my guy. He’s got a bigger shrine, and come on, just look at that collection of coconut oils.

Lust — A scalp massage is nice, but is there something behind the pink curtain in the back of the shop?

Gluttony — Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh air conditioning.

Greed – And all of a sudden, you find yourself in back and forth negotiations over 20 rupees.

Wrath — Botched my beard! (Wrath turns into joy when you get your first beard compliment in weeks.)
