This is a story I’ve been told about my mother’s ex-boyfriend since I was a kid. I’m not sure if it happened before, during or after they dated. But late 50s-early 60s. I’ll make up names.
Eddie the Ex got a mohawk hair cut & showed up to work…Bill the boss was livid…after all that’s counter culture…and simply wasn’t done
“I don’t ever want to see you with that stupid mohawk”. So Eddie went completely bald (which was even more counterculture). Bill…”what did you do a stupid thing like that for”
My mental picture (once I got over the mental shock of my Sunday school teacher mom (more June Cleaver than Carol Brady) dating a man with a mohawk…) looking at his boss like “make up your mind! what did you want me to?” Now it’s “ellipses…I don’t understand”
