Patti and I were in Minnesota the weekend of June 7 for a wedding. On Sunday it started to rain so a bunch of us sat around the dining room table playing games. During a break, Patti?s <a href="http://www.dobrindts.com/MNindex.htm#Cast">Uncle Tim</a>, the father of the groom, told a bunch of us about something called the ?Hair Fights?. Now, if it was anyone else, I would be intrigued. But Uncle Tim is a practical joker, so immediately warning bells started going off. I decided to see what the ?Hair Fights? were about anyway.
He pulled a strand of hair from one person then pulled a strand of hair from someone else. He said that something in hair makes it look like they are fighting when put together. At this point, warning bells weren?t just going off, lights and a siren were blaring. He proceeded to put the two pieces of hair on the table. He said for it to work, water had to be added to the hair. He then took a cup of water and slowly poured it around the pieces of hair, forming a large puddle. Forget warning bells, lights and sirens. Something was up. Knowing Tim fairly well, I got up from the table and took a couple of steps back. He was up to no good.
He then said to the two other unwitting participants that they had to look real close. Get down right next to the puddle of water with the fighting hairs he said. Closer. Closer still. Look real close. Can you see it?
WHAM!!
Just as they were about an inch from the water, he slapped the puddle, spraying water all over whoever was close.
Yep, that?s Uncle Tim.
