If I had been a cowboy outlaw in the old west I would have saved up my money so I could retire and open a barber shop. In the movies the outlaws ride into town and shoot up the saloon and rob the bank and sometimes set the general store on fire but they never burn down the barber shop. I guess even outlaws give barbers a break because nobody wants a bad haircut even if you always wear a black hat. I would practice my shooting through because if somebody was unhappy with their haircut I might need a quick draw. If I got tired of barbering I would play piano in the saloons and work my way from town to town. Nobody ever shoots the piano player either because it isn’t always so easy to find someone to tickle the old ivories. I guess the safest job of all in the old days was the undertaker because nobody ever gave the undertaker the business, but I would not want to be in charge of dead bodies in those days when it was hot with no air conditioning and there were flies everywhere. If I was in England or France in those days I suppose I could be riding in a coach and four and wearing top hats but in the movies the cowboys seem to have more fun. If I had a time machine I would go back to the old west and buy a black hat and hit the trail running because there would be no time to waste. I might not have much money but I would have a barrel full of fun.
