man hasn't cut hair for 60 years

[Amby 490]

A Chinese herbal medicine practitioner has not cut his hair for 60 years and keeps it in a bag on his back.

Peng Fu, 79, of Suining, started to grow his hair when he started to learn traditional Chinese medicine at the age of 20.

"From then on to now, 60 years, I have never once cut my hair," he told West China City Daily.

"My hair started to turn white 10 years ago, but I have not lost much."

Peng says he loves his long hair so much that he won't let anyone else touch it, although he admitted he rarely washes it.

He started tossing it into a bag and carrying it on his bag to make his life easier. At the last measurement, his hair was 8ft 10ins (2.7m) long and weighs nearly 9lbs (4kg).

Peng makes a living by digging up herbal medicines from the mountains and selling them in markets.

He's his own walking advertisement. Who wouldn't want to buy their herbs from the 'hair' guy?

A nurse here told us once, that she had this smelly hobo come into the ER, who was complaining of severe headaches. He had a similar mess of hair. They weren't sure what was wrong, so they had to shave his head and when the hair was removed they discovered a bunch of baby centipedes near his skull that had been biting him.
