Everyone is probably sick of hearing, or discussing, our health system, but one last thing we have to say is that it appears that the health of the Boorowa community is showing an alarming decline. The reason we say this is that at the recent 'public forum' our Mayor announced that the new local doctor was planning to bring another couple of doctors into the practice. This is great news, but for years we have been told that there wasn't enough work in Boorowa for two permanent doctors. We can only assume that there is now more demand for medical services, which obviously means we are not as healthy as we once were!

The other day at Bertie's Tonsorial Parlour and Discussion Club they told of one particular barber shop encounter. It appears a fellow came in for a haircut, but he was bald except for three hairs on the top of his head. The barber was a bit surprised, but he tried to do his best for the customer and delicately trimmed the hairs. Then he asked the customer how he wanted the hairs combed. Left to right, said the customer. But when the barber used the comb, one of the hairs fell out. The barber apologised, but the customer didn't seem to be worried. He asked for the remaining hairs to be combed right to left. The barber did that and another hair fell out. Again the barber apologised profusely, and asked what he should do with the remaining hair. The customer replied: "Just leave it ruffled."
