Thread Name: Origins: Shave and a Haircut
Subject: Origins: Shave and a Haircut
Listening to Crary & Gambetta on FREEBORN MAN (from the Synergia CD)
the stock phrase, "We'll finish this with a Shave and a Haircut" pops up.

What's the origin of this expression & how many dozens of ways can this be applied (muscially that is)?
