Back Wax -- Never Again!!!!!

I have had a hairy back since middle age, and I have tried several ways to keep it under control. I tried Nair much to my dismay -- it stings the private parts when it drips down south. Here in Afghanistan I have had the local barbers shave half way down my back when I get a hair cut, but that was a little embarrassing with other guys in there. So I was in the Green Spa today and noticed they did back, arm, and leg waxes etc. So I set an appointment to have my back waxed. Now the only thing I knew about waxing I saw in the movie "What a Woman Really Wants" -- with Mel Gibson when he tried waxing his leg. So I thought it can't be that bad. Wrong!!!!

When I got there I took my shirt off and she spread some hot wax/super glue consistency stuff all over my back. Then she started putting something akin to duct tape on my back and proceeded to pull not only the hair but pieces of flesh off as well. Needless to say I was yelping and crying like a baby. She kept consoling me and saying it will be all right Mr. Nelson, as she proceeded to strip my flesh clean. It wouldn't have been so bad if she had let me recover after each rip but instead she pressed and ripped in rapid succession. Needless to say it was a traumatic experience I don't think I will ever voluntarily endure again. To make matters worse she poured alcohol all over my back when she finished. That was the final straw!!!! Never again!!!! Women -- how or why do you do it?

Cindy and I read that together over the phone and laughed so hard! Cindy suggests that 1) Why bother when there's no one to see your hairy back and 2) Try laser hair removal if you feel the need to be hairless. Ha ha ha. Anyway, thanks for a good laugh. At least you'll be hairless for awhile until it grows back!

I read it to Denis and we laughed ourselves sick. Thanks for the laugh! You need to find something else to do. :-)
