The Uninvited Guest

           On a warm day in Trinity, California I was cleaning up lunch when I heard knock at the door. I was surprised because I was not expecting a visitor.  When I opened the door, this is what I saw.  Bigfoot was standing on the door step of my cabin.  I was shocked and speechless.  He was hug!  He was at least 12ft. tall.  He was hairy with long brown furry hair all over his body.

            After getting over my shock I said,” Hi big furry giant.”  He said, “Good afternoon tiny whatever you are.  Would you please give me a hair cut?”  I said, “What hair stile would you like?”  Bigfoot replied, “I would like a mullet please.”  I said,” Yes, I shall, if it’s the last thing I do.”

            I had him go to the back porch and sit down.  I excused my self and got a comb, scissors, a spray bottle, and some cologne (he stunk worse than a skunk).  I set everything up on a table next to us. I was pretty sure this was the first time I had ever been asked to give someone or something a hair cut, but I was not going to tell him that!

 I began by trying to spay his hair with water, so it would be less frizzy. The frizz would not go down, so I moved on by using my comb.  As soon as I tried to Comb it, all of the teeth disintegrated into his hair.  I then tried to use the scissors, but they broke.  I stood there and thought for a minute then I remembered that I had pruning shears.  I used the shears, and they were a success. 

            I finished cutting his hair and tried to spray cologne on him, but it ended up in my eyes instead.  I told him we were finished, so he stood up and said, “Why thank you, thank you very much.”  I nodded and he walked away.  All of a sudden I heard a buzzing sound (it was my alarm clock) I woke up and I heard a knock on the door.
