"And your name was?"

Norristown, PA barber, after cutting @Mike_Pence's hair: "And your name was?



ABCNews.com(NORRISTOWN, Pa.) — During a visit to Norristown, Pennsylvania, Tuesday in the midst of his campaign schedule, Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence stopped for a haircut at Jones Barber and Hairstyles.

In front of a crowd of reporters, Pence received a trim from owner Henry Jones, who’s been cutting hair for over 40 years. The two discussed their families and football for about 25 minutes as cameras filmed the exchange.

Despite the mass of onlookers, it turned out Jones didn’t recognize the man sitting in his chair.

“And your name was?” asked Jones of Pence upon wrapping up the cut.

He just brought him down a peg or two to let him know he wasn't as important as he thought he was. If so, great move!

I know Gawker is awful, but they did a piece that thoroughly explains Trump's hair.

His hair is actually a sophisticated scientific instrument these aliens created to probe the depths of human vanity and venality.

Trump has taught him that blacks are too scary to be around.

Like Ben Carson with a knife.

D'ya suppose they frisk Ben whenever he is near Trump?

Another self-centered politician, the perfect match for Trump.
