Wahenga walisema 'Kinyozi hajinyoi' which when translated roughly comes to 'a barber never shaves himself'. The old folks, whoever they may have been, were pretty wise in their assessment and stipulation of the so called sayings and proverbs but there is always that idiot who will defy these sayings...
It is pretty obvious you realise when you think about it; its the same concept with the hairdressers, you'll never walk into a salon and find one of them trying to fix up their hair too much because really that is a bit of a complex application....
Well the idiot sits before you today...after literally defying the wahenga and literally tried to shave myself. There is a reason that the Lord created the human with only one set of eyes at the front of the face, so that for complex events as shaving, a barber is involved. its pretty easy to shave your beard but what happens when you try to shave the back of your head without a pair of eyes behind there?
The natural contours of the African head combined with the steel-wool likeness of its attendant hair make for a really tough shave even by a barber, so how tough would you assume that the action would be to one who cannot see the back of his head...
this story need not continue for you can probably assume how badly this turned out...
The chameleon can rotate its eyes 360degrees about their axes...maybe thus even see the backs of their heads...sometimes I wish I was a chameleon....
