Hair There is much to be pondered about hair. Hair is one minute, beautiful, soft, and lucious, and the next minute, irritating, frustrating and limp. When we want to be specific we can "split hairs." When we upset or annoy someone, we are said to be "in their hair." I know I’m stretching it here, but what the heck, I guess I'm gonna "let down my hair." There are some strange terms and phrases associated with hair; Cowlick for instance; or how about Dreadlocks? These sound more like names for Pro Wrestling “Holds” " Oh!! Did you see that cowlick that The Rock just put on Hulk Hogan...now he has him in a dreadlock!!” I also tend to always confuse the terms, hair mousse and moose hair. And how flattering is it for a girl to be wearing a ponytail or a pigtail? What a boost this has been through the ages for the self-esteem of our young girls. Get her all fixed up and describe her with a barnyard animal appendage. There are some descriptive qualities relating to the coiffure too. When one is an obvious achiever, she is a "fair-haired" child. Something incredibly unattractive would be "hair-raising," or “Enough to curl your hair.” But it really all comes down to this logic: All mammals have hair, but humans are the only mammals to use tools... to groom it. Thus, what seperates man from the beasts, is the comb. I’m Billy Murphy, with Murphy’s Minute |
