My barber would be all the way over on the bottom right. Makes literally like 300 cuts just while I’m there and I’ve never even seen a tape measure anywhere in the shop.
i measured once, cut twice, and its still too short.
Did you remember to use the board stretcher?
Don’t measure, cut yourself.
A serial killing surveyor could totally fuck this whole thing up. Which would probably not be in the top three most objectionable traits of his 🤔
Thus, the last thing we can be accused of is having been hasty in convening the Second Congress. We were, in fact, guided by the maxim: measure your cloth seven times before you cut it; and we had every moral right to expect that after the cloth had been cut our comrades would not start complaining and measuring it all over again.

Serial killer should really be a spectrum.
The dot as it is just means “serial killer with bad aim”.

I’m reminded of “http-slash-slash-backslash-eacape” and the joke that it’s OJ’s home page URL.

The guy from silence of the lambs was making a dress ffs. That requires measuring.

Do serial killers normally break out the tape measure before cutting into a victim?
