I often wonder how they get the names for things. Why is it when you go to the beauty salon they call it a permanent when it’s only temporary? Try going bald. That’s permanent. Someone came up to me the other day and told me that your hair continues to grow after you’re dead. Fantastic! There are dead men doing better than me. I am also getting sick of all these serial killers in this world…and their hair. Charles Manson. Have you seen him lately? Full, thick, lofty head of hair. Jeffery Dahmer had a full head of hair. Richard Ramirez, you guessed it. Full head of hair.
Ted Bundy, after they electrocuted him, had more hair than I have now. And his hair may still be growing! I’m should start killing people. What have I got to lose? Certainly not hair.
How do they come up with the names for things? What happens if you wear an eighteen-hour bra nineteen hours? I would like to know! Who came up with the name for the Phillips Head Screwdriver? Have you ever met a guy named Phil with four grooves in his head? I picture two guys looking at their new tool. What are we going to call this? Hey! That looks like Phil’s head. I wonder if his brother Allen got that wrench named after him.
There some names that no one knows the origin or meaning of. Have you ever had someone tell you “He’s my second cousin once removed.” No one knows what this means. I have asked. No one knows. I think I figured it out. Second cousin once removed, means the guy is your second cousin, and he was born by cesarean section! Once removed.
