Just A Little Off The Ear, Please...!

When I go to my barber and say that, it goes without saying that I mean the hair!

I like my hair to be cut above the collar and off the ears. My barber understands that. I really don't think I've ever considered that she might be considering biting half my ear off! Then again, I don't fight with her about taking too long to cut my hair!

Trenton barber is accused of biting customer's ear in half after complaint about slow haircut

TRENTON – A Trenton barber was arrested Thursday afternoon after allegedly biting a customer’s ear in half following a dispute over how long a haircut was taking, police said.

James Dillard, 40, was at work inside the Beauty and the Beast Barber Shop on the 700 block of Chambers Street around 5:30 p.m. In his barber chair was a 24-year-old city man.

Dillard and his client began arguing about how fast Dillard was cutting the hair, and the client decided to get up and leave the shop, police said. The client slammed the barbershop’s front door behind him, causing the glass in it to shatter.

In response, Dillard rushed outside and confronted the young man, police said. The two began to fight, and during the struggle Dillard bit the 24-year-old’s ear nearly in half, police said.

The ear remained attached to the 24-year-old’s head, and he was taken to a hospital for treatment. Dillard was arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

I've always enjoyed getting a haircut, but then I've never had a barber with a real anger issue, either! At least, not that I knew of! I try to make it a point to never start an argument with someone holding sharp and pointed instruments! Call me silly, but it never seemed like a winning idea to me!

Let's get some fresh coffee and sit outside for a bit. I've given up on the rain idea!
