A man has cut off his head in protest at the costs of haircuts at his local barbers today.<\/p>\n
Jimmy Bumble, a resident of the village Whickersham in Leicestershire, took a pair of pinking shears and sliced through his neck to leave him without a head. This comes after recent news that saw the price of a simple trim rise to the astonishing fee of \u00a36.07.<\/p>\n
“You can’t let things like this lie,” said Mr Bumble, 89, speaking from underneath his own armpit. “If they think that is a reasonable sum just to spend five minutes removing growing hairs from my pimply noggin, well, let them. I’d sooner cut my own head off than… oh wait.”<\/p>\n
The village of Whickersham has received a fair amount of bad publicity recently after several accounts of granny napping and bovine juggling were\u00a0reported by worried residents. People have blamed this on the tanker of glycol fog that tipped over last year, poisoning the water supply and causing general havoc.<\/p>\n
The barbers shop in question do not wish to\u00a0be named and\u00a0have refused to comment on Mr Bumble’s actions, although they did offer to trim the whole crew for twenty quid.<\/p>\n
