Ah! that's bad luck you lost Burr. The Afrikaners here in the
apartheid years had the "pencil test" to see whether you were
classified white or black. If the official put the pencil in your hair
and it fell out, then you were classified white. If the pencil stuck
you were classified black.

That is one retarded way, to say the least. If this was tried in the
heart of Europe,even many years ago (before the invasion of the 3rd
world immigrants), the results could have been very embarassing for
the testers . For real .
