There’s nothing you can say mean about Lois that will turn Joy against her. She’s been a regular loyal customer since, ten years ago, she was checking out new hair styles, and Lois told her she was too slender for one she was considering. But more important, back in high school, before she lost weight, Lois dated Burl, and she has no end of stories. Besides, Lois’ shop is next door to the Krusty Kream donut emporium. .In school, Lois was the school power lifting champ and president of the Future Hairdressers Club, and Burl was sports mascot, Chevy the Impala. (Wilber Meet, the local Chevrolet dealer – “You Can’t Beat Meet”, was a big donor.) Unfortunately, the old guy who made the costume was a little unsure about what an impala looked like and wasn’t too good, anyway. So Chevy looked a little like a bloated grasshopper, especially when Burl worked stotting into his routine. It didn’t matter much, because when the play action got intense, Lois would start jumping up and down in the stands, which meant that at any given instant, approximately half of Lois was moving up and half was moving down. It was Mesmerizing. .And don’t get Lois wrong. She’s not softening the truth. The customers did indeed ask her to try a new deodorant. They could never imagine that human being could smell like that, so it must be her deodorant, but why anyone would manufacture a scent that brought to mind fermented horse urine was beyond them. .Joy’s favorite story is about when Burl lost his virginity to Lois. Not taking no for an answer, Lois made him pay for both the movie tickets AND the snacks, the first time Burl had been so violated. He could still feel the pain of that snack bar bill the next day.
