Negative People
This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to rain on your
parade. So remember this story the next time someone who knows nothing and cares less
tries to make your life miserable.
A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip
to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser,
who responded: "Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty.You're
crazy to go to Rome .
So, how are you getting there?" "We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a
great rate!"
"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their planes are
old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying
in Rome?"
"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste." "Don't
go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and
exclusive, but it's really a dump."
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope." "That's rich,"
laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look
the size of an ant".
"Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to needit."
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser
asked her about her trip to Rome.
"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "Not only were we on time in one of Continentals
brand new planes, but it was overbooked, so
they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful,and I had a handsome
28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot".
"And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's
a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized
and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to
see the Pope." "Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss
Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Popelikes to meet some of the
visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would
personally greet me."
"Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I
knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."
"Oh, really! What'd he say ?"
He said: "Who fucked up your hair?"
