the version I learnt the phrase from had the end of the chain as
- oh we should paint it
- we need a paintbrush
- I hear yak hair makes the best paintbrushes
- here I am, shaving a yak
made more sense than the examples given in the op
- clscott 4mo agoSo yak shaving comes after bike shedding?
- rzzzt 4mo agoInternet Search Thing now tells me sable (for soft brushes) and hog hair (for wire-like brushes) is the best hair for this purpose. Oxen occasionally show up. Yaks nowhere to be found. Coincidentally, this is also the first time I'm hearing about sable.
