Well, if you've ever seen a picture of Long John Silver, I think he had really long hair. I don't think he went to the barber too often, if at all. He may have even had a beard, thus negating the purpose of a barber entirely! And Gord's saying if there'd been *lady* barbers, hey, it wouldn't have been so bad, but, because Long John Silver set a precedent, no one else had to "be a martyr" and sit in the barber's chair. Anyway, that's my take on it...
