Barber says: "you'll need a condom after I cut your hair...trust me"

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

Barber says: "you'll need a condom after I cut your hair...trust me"

Post by Clutch Cargo »

So he gives you one for free with his business card. :thumb:

There's only one, small...actually, two tiny problems.. :facepalm:



A 23-year-old barber stapled condoms to his business cards, but people were quick to point out a major flaw

There’s something not quite right here.

  • A 23-year-old barber from Texas started handing out condoms along with his business cards.
  • But he was stapling the two items together – puncturing holes in the condoms.
  • He shared his business plan on Twitter, but users were quick to point out his mistake.

A 23-year-old barber from Texas thought he was on to something when he started attaching condoms to his business cards – but there was a major flaw.

On Sunday, Twitter user Jake Gamez shared photos of one of the cards for FadeAway Barbershop stapled to a condom

Gotta include one of these with every card! You’re going to need it after I cut your hair 💈🥇Trust me 🙌🏼

Twitter users, however, were quick to point out his mistake – by stapling the card to the condom, he had poked holes in them, rendering them useless.

@anouskamoss_
This man ain’t dumb, he’s gonna be cutting their kids hair too and doubling his profits

Jalen Hurts Stan Account
@Michael2Wallace
Somebody gonna tell him?

A Twitter moment asked, “Were these free condoms a mistake or a cheeky business plan?”

Mistake or not, the tweet has certainly drawn attention to his business.

Gamez retweeted some of the responses to his initial tweet and shared a photo of some of his work to his new fans.

“Thank you all for being here,” he wrote. “Truly an honour.”

Free bad advertising.

But I guess as P.T. Barnum said, "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

You go right ahead Duncan, as for me, I don't really want a guy whipping around my head with a pair of shears and a straight razor, who doesn't have the presence of mind to understand the complications involved with stapling through the middle of a condom. :thumb:

But if he was a smart businessman he would not be cutting hair.. You employ people to do that manual work. Chances are your hair would be cut by a professional hairdresser.

Are you deliberately being obtuse?

The title of the OP says "Barber says..."

It's his business and he's the barber.

Yeah, "maybe".

and if I concentrate reeeeeeeeeal hard...maybe I could shit gold bullion.

First you say he "IS" a smart businessman.

Then you say "IF" he was a smart businessman.

Now you're saying "MAYBE".

Stop backpedaling and admit that I am right, as I always am, and lets end this circuitous parrying of wits, which you are ill equipped to engage in.
