    The questions I asked about what size bowls we should use for bowl haircuts.


    Yikes. Your razor and strop are no match for my rollin' pin. You win. I think I'll go hide in that loo now.

    Well poo, I missed out on all the potty talk. Let me see if I can start it up again.

    Marcia described well our standard facilities. We call them "squatty potties". Honestly, they beat some dirty, nasty American style toilets. At least you don't have to touch anything.

    Now looking down the hole can be a scary sight. Just last Sunday the light shined just right and I could see 20 feet down. The floor was a bit cracked. I got a little queasy.

    We have unisex bathrooms. They're called outhouses. Our's is a Cadillac of outhouses, as it has a cement floor, a toilet (no water), and a toilet paper holder. The door actually shuts. It has walls all the way up and even has a roof. The best part is, we don't have to duck to go in it. There is one church where the walls barely go up to one's waist and there is no door. The hole is big enough to lose a toddler down. Yes, our's is luxurious in comparison.

    And now for a joke...

    An English lady, while visiting Switzerland, was looking for a room, and she asked the schoolmaster if he could recommend any to her. He took her to see several rooms, and when everything was settled, the lady returned to her home to make the final preparations to move. When she arrived home, the thought suddenly occurred to her that she had not seen a "W.C." [water closet, a euphemism for bathroom] around the place. So she immediately wrote a note to the schoolmaster asking him if there were a "W.C." around. The schoolmaster was a very poor student of English, so he asked the parish priest if he could help in the matter. Together they tired to discover the meaning of the letters "W.C.," and the only solution they could find for the letters was letters was a Wayside Chapel. The schoolmaster then wrote to the English lady the following note:

    Dear Madam:

    I take great pleasure in informing you that the W.C. is situated nine miles from the house you occupy, in the center of a beautiful grove of pine trees surrounded by lovely grounds. It is capable of holding 229 people and it is open on Sunday and Thursday only. As there are a great number of people and they are expected during the summer months, I would suggest that you come early: although there is plenty of standing room as a rule. You will no doubt be glad to hear that a good number of people bring their lunch and make a day of it. While others who can afford to go by car arrive just in time. I would especially recommend that your ladyship go on Thursday when there is a musical accompaniment. It may interest you to know that my daughter was married in the W.C. and it was there that she met her husband. I can remember the rush there was for seats. There were ten people to a seat ordinarily occupied by one. It was wonderful to see the expression on their faces. The newest attraction is a bell donated by a wealthy resident of the district. It rings every time a person enters. A bazaar is to be held to provide plush seats for all the people, since they feel it is a long felt need. My wife is rather delicate, so she can't attend regularly. I shall be delighted to reserve the best seat for you if you wish, where you will be seen by all. For the children, there is a special time and place so that they will not disturb the elders. Hoping to have been of service to you, I remain,

    Sincerely,

    The Schoolmaster

    Back to the topic.

    1 Cor. 11:14-15 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

    This is a straightforward maxim. Nature teaches us something. What does it teach?

    Y'all go on talking about bathrooms. [Edit: If that's where your minds dwell, dwell there in another thread.] [Self edited. I agree--that was over the top even for me]

    Aaron, when someone posts something that smacks of looking down their nose at others, it's going to get negative attention.

    You've been here long enough to know we've had a zillion threads talking about hair length. Most of us are sick of the whole subject and would rather talk about anything else, even bathrooms.

    If I'm tired of a topic, I don't get involved. What you're employing is a tactic of liberals to stifle discussing they think destructive to their way of thinking.

    So, back to the topic. 1 Cor. 11:14-15 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

    Sorry, I must have missed the passage that talks about the barber as if one's haircut has anything to do with nature!!!!!

    Cheers,

    If I seemed rude, I certainly apologize. It was not my intention.

    Cheers,

    Yes back to the topic. Did I not ask you a long time ago, "What is long?"

    That over time all systems degenerate. This thread is certainly no exception!
