Cyber and the Barbers

As my barber, Skip, was clipping me, he began to discuss Cyber Monday.
“Why do they call it Cyber Monday?” I asked.
“It’s the day you can find all kinds of good deals on the internet.”
“Okay, but what does the word cyber mean?”
“I don’t know,” he replied.
“They have cyber space, cyber cafes, cyber speak, cybersex and who knows what else. But what does cyber mean?” I again asked. We then asked Mike, his partner, and he didn’t know. That’s strange; I thought to myself. Most barbers think they’re experts on things they know nothing about! And to hear, not one, but two say, “I don’t know,” puts them on the cutting edge of truth.
Oh, by-the-way, I looked it up. Cyber is anything involving computers or computer networks, (such as the internet). That’s according to Dan “the Man,” Webster.
