Pejazzling

A landscape gardener was telling me about this new obsession for men to have a Hollywood wax - EVERY bit of hair removed! Apparently modern girls will not stand for the old brillo pad look on their man. Swim shorts that look like a bunch of seaweed has got trapped in your trunks is sooo wrong! Men everywhere are being pressured to go smooth like their girlfriends. He told me that in the past his girlfriend, a” landscape gardener”, has used her creative talents to produce many different forms of topiary to enhance his willy. Today’s modern girl is fed up having to take part in a bushtucker trial every time she has an intimate moment with her fella. The growing popularity for the back, sack and crack wax has surpassed the short back and sides that was the bread and butter of a traditional barber’s, forcing these chapels of masculinity into male grooming salons. Personally I needed some convincing to say the least, but as he so eloquently put it to me, “The Ultimate Hollywood wax is the dogs boll**cks”.

The Ultimate He-Wax treatments can now offer ‘pejazzling’, which is exactly what it sounds like. Similar to women's vajazzling, patterns such as stars and dolphins, are created on the skin using crystals. Men can have their favourite football team logo or decorative ivy curling around their willy.

In the Shadow

Man With Oversized Wooden Leg Cuts Off Good Leg By Mistake.

The man used a mechanical saw to slice two inches off his foot.

A high-wire walker has cut off his left foot, to avoid paying for his wooden right leg to be shortened by two inches.

Police said the "Lucky" 52-year-old man accidently sliced two inches off his good leg with a mechanical saw. He was trying to save money by trimming his own wooden leg.

The man, from Turnham Green, then hobbled into his garage and called an ambulance.

He was taken to a local equine veterinary practice where he spent 7 hours in the operating theatre. He was said to be in a stable condition.

He now finds himself having to make the decision of cutting four inches off the wooden leg or have a shoe made with a four inch sole for the good foot.
