When I was 8, I tried to cut a nail with my Dad's
hand-powered hair clippers ...didn't work the first time
broke a tooth off...tried again...still didn't
work ....Dad still used them...on me worked fine
except for trimming above the ears...a quick flip
to flip the hair off and yow! "Oh pull a little, did it", he would snicker and snort!
For 10 more years he cut my hair and every once in awhile he would forget?? and give the clippers
a little flick and we would both grin....
Always use the right tool for the job. Barbers probably wonder why I give a little
wince when they give that little flick of the
wrist when trimming above my ears.....
