200 FUNNY WORDS
She Called Me a Dickhead
I probably deserved it
By my mid-thirties, I had donut hair. Bald on top with a ring of hair from ear to ear.
My concession was a well-groomed beard. It added a touch of Sean Connery distinction to my look.
One day, while trimming my beard, I ruined it. To fix it, I had to shave it off. Then I decided to shave the rest of my head.
I proudly walked out of my bathroom, feeling good about the new look. I could feel a breeze on my face, and my head was all polished and shiny.
My modest wife didn’t share my exuberance. She started laughing.
“You look like a dickhead who just had a Brazilian wax job on the wrong body part.”
That was the first time I ever heard her use the word dickhead.
To make matters worse, the kids cried, the dog hid, and the neighbors thought I was an intruder.
I stuck with the shaved head, but grew the beard back.
