What the hell happened to her eyebrows?
She must have seen me staring at her as she rang our stuff up because she asked me if there was a problem. I told her that I was admiring her eyebrows or lack of eyebrows. At this point my sister gave me one her “Oh God you’re not going to do or say something stupid” look, which is usually followed with me doing or saying something stupid. “I think it looks really hot.” I said as the cashier smiled, but her eyebrows didn’t move at all.
She told me that she had shaved off her eyebrows and then taken a pencil to make two straight horizontal lines over her eyes and then with all seriousness she said, “Everyone says they’re cute” I thought to myself, "Yeah right, I bet they do." 
“What do you when you’re surprised? Do you lick your thumbs, rub them off and then paint on surprised looking eyebrows?”
She laughed, “You’re too funny.”
I wasn’t trying to be funny or mean, it was a serious question and had many more: do they run down your face in the rain, have you ever thought of making one big one with the thick side of the sharpie across both eyes - unibrows are sexy in some countries, what do your mad eyebrows look like, have you ever forgotten to draw them on and gone eyebrow less, what happens when you sweat - I had more questions, but didn‘t have the time to ask them all - I wanted the person behind me to experience the uniqueness of this cashier.
I happened to look up in time to see the look of shock and surprise on the guy behind me as the cashier greeted him - I’m sure it was the same look I had when I first noticed her lack of eyebrows. I swear that at first I thought she was wearing a Halloween costume it was the freakiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. She wasn’t a bad looking woman, but something about a woman with thin straight black sharpie eyebrows is just not right.

LOL, that just made my day. It always catches you off guard. One of my Spanish teachers in high school had a lack of eyebrows, but I think it was due to some disease. I swear she had the little thin lines tattooed on because they never changed throughout the entire year. Come to think of it, her makeup was probably tattooed on as well.

That always creeps me out too. She should have a guest eyebrow drawer day like a guest poster on a blog. I'd go for the Groucho Marx look myself. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

. . . I of course meant 'funny' and not that word I made up in a hurry . . .

@Sal - you're right, it always takes me by surprise when I see something like that. There was a little phase when my sister did that I actually did lick my thumbs and rubbed her eyebrows off. Thankfully, she's outgrew that and now has regular human eyebrows.
@Jim - thanks for checking out my blog - I still have a lot to learn about blogging, so I may end up asking you a lot of questions in the future.
@Tara - I really enjoy reading your blog and am glad to know that you'll think of this blog when you pluck your eyebrows. I once read a story by either David Sedaris or by Augusten Burroughs where he wakes up and finds a rat in his tub. When he calls the plumber the plumber tells him that they come up through the pipes and sometimes they get stuck in the shower head and die there. I was taking a shower one day, I looked up, opened my mouth and let the water flow in ... and almost choked when I remembered that story

This was a good post Tony. Really made me think deeply about the subject.
I would have to say there must be some flaw the DNA chain. I've heard of women shaping their eyebrow but shaving and drawing a line really an abomination. Maybe you should carry your own pencil and when you come upon one of these ladies, offer to improve the look and complete the laying down stick figure. Funny thing is, for as long as I can remember, I have only noticed Hispanic woman partake in this act.
You may also want to ponder the state of mind of the spouse/lover when he starts to initiate four play and realizes she has no brow. I would guess its doggy style every single close encounter.
Deepthinker out
