Blind Barber

A lot of people out there with handicaps.

I decided to use one of those conditions for my prank phone call.

I am the blind barber.

All I'm trying to do is get myself a job.

But why not go and start cutting hair?

Even though I'm blind.

Here you go, the blind bar.

Hello.

Yeah, I'm uh I'm trying to read your uh I'm trying to read a B.

Jenkins that run the the bar.

Yeah, you now you run the the barbershop down there, don't you?

I own the barbershop.

Okay, now I'm trying to see if if y'all got any uh uh boo rentals down there where I can come in there and cut some hair.

I've been cutting hair a long time.

I wanna see if y'all got some room down there.

They tell me you it might you might have had some come available.

I got two booths open right now.

Two of them are god win the left.

Okay.

But uh I got two booths open right now.

You need a boot?

Yeah, I'm I'm trying to get in there and get the cutting out you now how much you charge for for booth rental on a weekly basis.

That's uh $200 a week.

$200 a week.

That's $800 a month.

That's still good because there's just two hundred.

Now when can I get down there so you can meet me, you know, where you show me around the shop so I can know what I'm open from eight to seven.

That's uh that's two to through sadness.

All right, because I want to see if I can maybe meet you there so I can get down there and just feel my way around.

Well, come on.

Then what I want to ask you, do you mind doing for me?

Do you think you could possibly put up some ramps where you got steps at and uh and your phone, could you take your mind if you take the phone and put it in braille or

wait, wait a minute.

What the hell I need to put my shit in taking ramps out and and putting phones in and brill for what what's going on with you?

Well, I'm I'm I'm I'm um I'm blind.

But I still you know, I'm not gonna let that stop me.

You know, I'm still gonna Oh no, no, no, no.

Hell no, man.

You wait a minute.

God damn you what?

I'm I'm blind, but see now see I've been but I've been cutting my hair for over ten years, and folks say my haircut always look good, so I didn't s figure I'm gonna start cutting hair now.

Oh well yeah, what you might cut hair and it might be some good shit that you do, but just can't cut no hair at my shop not being blind, Doc.

Yeah, bring that kind of shit down my shop, man.

No, what I ain't got no problem with that, but you you just can't do it there.

Well, wait, wait now, because now you see this what they call they call discrimination.

You can't do that.

You can't discriminate from people just cause they got some type of handicap blows to them.

You listen, hold on, let me tell you something, man.

I'm not trying to be trying to put you out of business doing what you need.

To do, but you just can't do that shit at my shop, man.

I don't care if it called it discrimination, scrimination, scripination, or what?

Not at my shit, not a B.

Jenkins' shop.

You just can't do it, baby.

Listen, now,

I know how to cut hair.

I know how to give folks a lining and stuff like that.

I ain't trying to use no razor, nothing like that.

Oh no, man.

Come on, dude.

Listen, I can't you find something else to get into besides trying to cut hair.

Well, this is something, this what I like though.

This what that this this I feel like this my calling.

You see?

And that's what, you know, my name is I didn't tell my name is Lonnie.

You just can't do it in my shop, I'm sorry.

No, because see, now that's what I don't I don't care to hear something like this here.

Now I've been, I'm calling you like a man.

I got the qualifications, and I'm able to do it.

And I want to be able to come down there.

And I told you when I first what I tell you, I said I wanted to feel my way around.

Didn't I say that?

I don't need to feel your way, Doc.

I need to be able to see what you're doing.

I mean, I don't care about you being able to cut no hair being blind, doc.

You got to be able to see to do that shit.

This could probably do to do wonders for your shop.

People will come from miles around to see somebody like myself cutting.

I heard what you said, but but I'm saying, but see, now what you what I don't want you to do and make me mad about this, but this, because I don't, you know, not you gonna get mad about something that belonged to me.

I'm I'm I'm often and you tell me the shit that you're blind.

Doc, I can't help you when you run, man.

Come on with that.

Now listen, I'm gonna tell you this here, and I'm gonna tell it to you straight.

I'm coming down there to that barber shop.

I'm gonna feel these booths out, and I'm gonna start cutting.

Now, what one thing I don't want to do is have to get into no tussle with you.

I don't want that.

If you bring your ass up in my shop, how much you gonna cut here?

It's gonna be some discrimination.

It's gonna be some goddamn furniture moving around up in this motherfucker.

Well, damn it, I'm coming down there and I'm coming down there this evening.

Now what thing you can't bring your ass nowhere now.

You better keep your ass away from my shot.

You gon you gonna get your ass whooped by a blind man of what you gonna do, you ain't gonna see it coming either.

You hear me?

Pray your goddamn ass on.

Bring your ass.

Pray your motherfucking ass.

If as long as I got the money to pay my boo rental, you don't give a damn.

I don't want your goddamn money.

Your blind ass can't cut no goddamn ass.

My goddamn shop.

You understand what I say to you?

I'm understanding what you're saying, and if I got to call the law about you being discriminatory.

You not gonna do that shit.

You understand what I'm telling you?

Now you bring your motherfucking ass down there talking about cutting ass my goddamn shit if you want to.

I'll be waiting on you.

I'm coming down there this evening.

I'm coming, and I'm coming to whoop your ass, B Jenkins, because you got the nerve to discriminate against me.

Motherfucker, I don't know how you even got my goddamn number.

I don't who the fuck gave you my number in the first place.

You ought not be dialing my goddamn.

How you even fix your motherfucking fingers to even call my goddamn phone.

They give me, they give me this number and say, you is the one that do the hiring round the barber shop.

Now that what you don't call my personal number, you call my goddamn shop.

How the fuck don't give you my goddamn number?

That that now not what difference do that make if I'm some man looking for a job.

See, this is I don't give a damn.

You don't call my personal phone.

God damn shop.

That's where I do my business at.

This is what's wrong with black folk nowadays.

Do you want to do you want to lease out the booze or do you not want to lease?

You can't get shit.

You understand me?

You can't get a motherfucking thing from me.

You gon' watch your tone with me, what you're gonna do.

I ain't gonna watch a motherfucking thing.

You don't you just don't you bring your ass in my shop?

I tell you what, I tell you one thing you're gonna watch, you gonna watch.
