Barber-slash-slasher gets ten years in jail
Cheers and prayers to Petty Officer Vaughn. I am reminded of the haircut I received in about 1949 in Tokyo from a Japanese barber. I had asked him what he did during the recent war. As he was trimming my sideburns and around my ears he related that he had been a soldier in Burma. He described how he fought in the jungle. He described how he attacked the enemy (the British, I suppose) with his sword. At that point, for emphasis, he brought his straight razor down in front of my face in a slashing motion! He chuckled...... I went to men's room and cleaned my pants. However, I did continue to visit his shop for the next five years....... without untoward incident.— June 12, 2015 2:17 p.m.
