Thread Name: BS: A new unit of measure.
Subject: RE: BS: A new unit of measure.

and many guys know a version of an R.C.H. Many years ago, I knew a fellow who was calibrating an instrument to measure air pollution. He tweaked and muttered and finally said, "Hmmm... off by an R.C.H" Silly me... I asked.

Turns out, various hair colors are supposed to vary in basic thickness. Blond is finest, then (R)ed.... so... RCH. I'll leave you to fill in the 'C'.
