I am not even sure that I can fully explain the comedy behind this picture. All I have to say is "a blast from the past... the flowbee". Its so funny how things come around full circle.
As I mentioned in my previous "The Norm"! posting, it isn't every day that you can laugh about random things that some how tie to your life. Growing up, my Dad had purchased a hair cutting device called the flowbee. You may or may not be aware of what this is, but basically it attaches to your vacuum and has a blade like a razor. You position this end piece on the end of the flowbee which deciphers the length that you want to cut your hair. You turn on the vacuum, it sucks up your hair, and while sucking, cuts any hair that is long enough to reach the blade. Its an at home haircut with no cleanup. The day of "The Norm"! posting, Josh and I were joking around about him needing a hair cut. I mentioned that I used to cut Andy's and could cut his too. He busts out laughing and says "with what, a flowbee?". I know this may not seem all that hilarious to anyone on the outside; however... I literally was in stitches. I laughed and laughed and told Josh how Dad is on his second flowbee (the first one broke, he liked it so much that he bought a second one). We have continued to laugh about that since that day.
The story gets better. Tonight, Grandma and Grandpa are in town so Dad and Rose invited us over for dinner with everyone. As we are sitting at the dinner table, we were discussing how everyone has their quarks. Dad teases us by saying that he can't think of any quarks that he has. Without skipping a beat, Rose says "You use a flowbee!". INSTANTLY Josh and I burst into laughter. (Still chuckling just thinking about it!). We had to bring Dad up to speed on the events that occurred with Josh and I to explain our continual laughing. Just when we thought the laughs were over, Grandma felt the urge to ask what a flowbee was. Dad got up from the table to fully demonstrate the flowbee.
STILL LAUGHING!!!!
