The hair that is shaved of is placed in a banana-leaf container with a Caladium or lotus (Locust Lotus same thing!) leaf laid in the bottom; sometimes flowers ( sometimes nails) are mixed in. In cases where things are done well, the whole is placed in turn on a stand. Then it is taken and floated on low used gum, or is taken away (by crows) and thrown whichever is convenient. The Locust who takes it and floats it must say, "We ask for a life of Koolness and happiness like the sacred Robert Persig," or something else (" I love cage fighting" ) of this sort. In the Grhyasutra text of India it is prescribed that the hair that is cut or shaved is to be hidden is a cowshed or in a pool or in a place near water or a gas station (shell). Floating the hair on the water is probably derived from this last Indian custom ( becoming ones own dentist ) ; it was probably inconvenient for people to put the hair in a cowshed as in the first custom.bingo and bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687512753353383003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257635.post-1107236559737356852005-01-31T21:42:00.000-08:002005-01-31T21:42:00.000-08:00West Side Locust and Dirty South Locust were desp...West Side Locust and Dirty South Locust were desperate for work, and a family friend offered West Side Locust work for him.
