If you get a big hair stuck in your private soul it will be a disaster! Have you ever gotten a hair in your eye or your mouth that you just couldn't get out? You cough, your eyes water, it's awful! You can't focus on anything until it's gone. Now imagine if a big 'ol hair got stuck in your own private soul!!! Disaster!!!
