Where is your latest monkey-mange?

#1

Post by vampyrewolf »

I know any members from BFC in fall 2001 will know this term...



for those who don't... "The knife is man's oldest tool, it elevated us above the apes... I carry a pen if I have something to write or not. I wear a watch even if I don't have any appointments to keep. I carry a knife because I am a man, and not an ape."



Thus, bald spots caused by the use of a knife, are known as 'monkey mange'...



Where is your latest spot of mange? My left arm is still growing in from 2 weeks ago, and my legs are full of spots. I'd say my latest is left leg, mid calf... touching up the millie and dragonfly.

Monkey-mange ALL over. Right and left forearms, chest, belly, lower legs. I mean all over. Sold a knife to a guy a while back and he informed me the other day as I was sharpening it for him that the last time I sharpened it he went home and shaved his balls. So I guess he had monkey mange balls! Don't know about you but that was a little more than I wanted to know.

Inside of left wrist, it's easiest to get to.

As for Artsig1's unusual shaver/customer, I can only cringe at the thought of slipping. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Artsig1,

Aye!!! That WAS more than we needed to know but thanks for sharing! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

After the usual comments avout the receding hairlein, Mrs Java remarked about the odd "pattern baldness" I seemed to be developing on the left arm. Self induced, I explained, as is the chilli bowl Moe style haircut I seem to be developing.

Hmmmm. So there is a name to my mange... Thanks for the enlightenment, VW.

I don't shave my arm hair, since at 48 years-old, I don't want to piss-off the hair Gods, and lose anymore hair than I have to. I test the sharpness of MY knives by shaving my thumb-nail.
