I have a personal theory on that like my historic beheading theory. Ancient and medieval barbers weren’t very good. Their failures were all victims of really bad haircuts. For centuries barbers had a really powerful lobby to deflect and obscure any evidence of those transgressions.
Today, the descendants of these bloodthirsty fanatics continue to prey upon us; instead of cutting out our hearts, they go right for the wallet as they swarm over our border.
Like The Barber of Seville?
I think you’re onto something!
