The ultimate line-up?
As a boy I was the only dude with long hair at a strict Catholic school.
I withstood constant hassle about it.
I pointed out that the girls had long hair.
Not that I was a women's equality pioneer
but it made them dither.
"...er...but...the girls have to tie their hair up"
(said with relief at having thought of an answer...ANY answer!)
I pointed out the never ending troops of chicks passing by
who had done no such thing
and when I said that I was no stranger to sporting a pony tail
well...they tied themselves in knots
over the idea of me tying my hair in knots.
My final salvo (a homage to the multiple portraits adorning the school premises)
was that Jesus had long hair.
Can you imagine how they squirmed?
I never cut my hair...I won!
BUT...they scarred me for life...wankers.

I went to a Grammar school and was once hauled in front of the headmaster with a couple of comrades. He asked whether there was an underground movement in the school, to which we all replied "No Sir".

DeleteSpot on.
ReplyDelete18 years iat a strict Catholic school. There was no way to have long hair in that school. Famous St Henri in Comines (Belgium).
ReplyDeleteIs your haircutter dead ? No sir.
And next day, sure to be checked that you went to the haircutter.
After that 40 years later, I still kept my hair long... what's left of it. You often do the contrary to what they thaught you and what you thought was just unfair.

Really liked that Derek. Good to know this oppression was not just UK. (good?) Ha Ha
