2. While waiting for his monthly trim, a regular noticed something peculiar in the hair salon’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string.

Everyone had a good laugh over coffee after work.

Curious, he peered through the window and saw a regular customer, Mr. Jenkins, standing on a chair, trying to reach the top shelf with a box of special shampoo. ‘I’m not sure if you’ve noticed,’ Mr. Jenkins said with a smile, ‘but my hair is growing down there!’ And so, the delivery driver joined him for a good laugh before helping him off the chair.
