Pooney's haircut

Of all the comments I get concerning the Outlaws’ Hill, almost all of which are not given at the blog by the way, people usually come up to me and tell me in person. That’s what the ‘comments’ section is for, people! USE IT! Anyway what I get asked the most is, "How come Mr. Pooney has no eyes and hair? Because in truth, he has eyes and a little hair." Now, the truth is he does have eyes but you can't see them. And as for the hair, well that's what this post is all about.  Before we begin, let's take a look at how Pooney looked before all this happened.

Yeah, he used to have an afro. I know it's hard to believe. Heck, I'm writing the blog and I still don't believe it. Now instead of talking about what we do and do not believe, let's just get on with how Pooney turned from this...<-
 to that............          ->
                                   






Okay, so approximately, 4 years, 2 months, 1 week and 5 days ago Mr. Pooney 
was doing this.. 

.. that’s right trying to convince Mama Lit to go out with him, as usual,(notice Mr. Pooney is not making eye contact. He’s apparently distracted. Smh. The pervert.) when she made a rather disturbing comment, “I can never get involved with a guy like you. Not when you walk around not looking serious, sporting such a goofy afro!” 

Pooney, taken aback by this sudden, raw honesty, retorted, ”What’s wrong with my afro?”

“There’s nothing ‘wrong’ with it. I just sometimes wonder why you can’t just get a haircut. Try shaving everything off for a change.”

And that was it! In Pooney’s mind, winning the heart of Mama Lit was the second most important thing on this earth, coming in just after deboardinizing as many students as possible. And if shaving his head was what would make that happen, then that was what he would do.

Pooney had never been bald before. So before he performed the life-changing event of skinning his head, he approached one of the only bald men he knew for advice on the matter.  That's right...

Natteman!                                                                                          

                                                                  

               

                                                                                                                                                    

                                                                  

...who, not only never had any hair, but as you can see in the picture, never really had a neck either. 

          He could have always asked Joe-di-baw but that large dent in his head made him seem inexperienced at being bald.















Now, Natteman thought it was a great idea that Pooney shaved his head. He even recommended an excellent barber for him. But Pooney turned down the offer when he found out that this excellent barber charged an OUTRAGEOUS.....!
  two Ghana cedis for a haircut. Yeah, he said he knew a place where they only charged 10p.

So being the cheap old man that he was, he walked into the barbershop fully confident of the quality service he was about to receive. Yes! A whole TEN P’S worth of state of the art treatment. He noticed on the way inside that his professional barber didn’t have any power.  

    
So he naturally assumed that the growling engine being sparked behind him was a generator.
 
 When he found out how mistaken he was, it was just too late.

Pooney's head, and face, were mowed and disfigured for life. And to make matters worse, the barber charged him 11p! due to 'increase in fuel prices'. Pooney could not have been angrier.

So, Pooney barely survived and needed immediate plastic surgery. The doctor gave him a set of faces to choose from. He initially chose this...

...and then he remembered he had to be bald for Mama Lit. So he chose this...
 
And then they showed him the price and he wet himself.
"Oh GOSH! WHY?!"
So he asked for the cheapest face available and that's how he ended up with this...
 
 So there you have it; the how and why of Mr. Pooney's new look. I hope this matter has been put to rest.

Oh and after all of this, as expected, Mama Lit didn’t agree. Yes and she didn’t until… well that’s another story altogether.
