The clean-up continues across much of southern Saskatchewan today after an Alberta Clipper blew through on the weekend, producing wind gusts up and over 100 km/h. It was a wicked wind from the west and it caused damage, bring trees down and blowing at least one semi-trailer unit right off the highway.
I had to run some errands on Saturday. It was difficult just opening and closing the car door.
I walked into a business just as an old acquaintance of mine was doing the same.
He said, "Hey, nice day if the wind doesn't get up!"
We laughed and I said, "Ya, it's a bad hair day!"
He responded by taking his ballcap off, revealing his balding head and said, "Yes, it is. That wind blew my hair right off!"
And that opened the door for me to use one of my favourite lines of all time.
I told the guy to pick up some Preparation H for that bald spot.
He was intrigued and said, "Are you serious?"
And I said, "Ya, for sure. Just rub it into your scalp every day for a week and you'll see a difference. I won't help you grow your hair back BUT it'll shrink your head to fit your haircut."
You can use that one if you like. You're welcome.
