Well...when you're on the taxpayers dime you can do that.

Grooming isn't subsidized in the service, just mandated. 'You never need a hair cut in the Air Force--you always have one.'

Sounds like it is spoken by someone who avoided serving in the armed forces.

And BTW, we are ALL on the taxpayer's dime. EVERY day. Power, water, food, oil, transportation, shipping, flying, clean air, clean water, freedom from foreign powers that wish us ill. The list is endless.

Zackly right!. I went up last night to get a pedicure while my wife was getting some polish fixed that she had chipped doing some gardening (weird polish that changes colors with temp.), and noticed the Spa Joint had a new sign that said they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Can you still do that in the USA? I hear stories about cake shops being sued by the LBGT folks for not making them wedding cakes and stuff. I remember those signs used to be in every Tavern in the world, just so they could toss the drunks out. I asked my foot Gal what happened and I guess they had some Lady (loose use of the term I guess) come in about half in the bag and was being really rude and nasty. They booted her.

The sign should say 'We reserve the right to refuse service to disorderly people.'

No, you can't 'refuse service to anyone.' Some reasons fly, some don't.

Never let the facts get in the way of a Teabagger's mythology.

I don't do barber shops because I'm bald and I just shave my head.

However I've been considering going to one of those Vietnamese nail salons for pedicures. I'm getting old man feet and my toenails are getting all thick and curly and hard to cut. On top of that I'm not as flexible as I used to be and it's hard to get at them.
