My gawd! I thought, what discipline to have to shave around it each day and constantly watching over it so as not to catch it accidentally in the zipper of a coat, or what if you happened to scratch your chin at the wrong time and caused it fall off after years of caring for it, you'd have to start all over again. It was probably some kind of zen religioso thing. It was a very strange sight to see. One of the modern wonders of the world in my book. One long grey hair comin' right out of the middle of his chin. Weird! Reggie truth is stranger than fiction Miles |

Damn, we can't think where we heard it but it's great. Bev and Jerry |

14 Apr 03 - 08:17 AM (#933001) Subject: ADD: The Man with the Single Hair From: GUEST,Jim Ward The Man with the Single Hair By Robert Ganthony & Arthur H. Wood (1902) Performed by Met. B. Spurr He was not bald: for on his shining cranium Remained one hair, it's colour pink geranium. Oh, how he idolised that single hair That, last of loved ones, grew luxuriant there. He counted it each morning: fondly viewed it This way and that way: carefully shampooed it. Brushed it, combed it, scented it and oiled it, Dared scarcely put his hat on lest he spoiled it. In evening dress, arrayed for swell society, He'd part it in the middle for variety. Often he'd curl it, train it o'er his brow In navy fashion, as our middies now. Omitting nothing, with devoted care, He'd pet his hirsute pride, his single hair. But sad to tell! Ah bitter was the blow! There came a day — A day of direst woe — When in his soup it fell! He quickly spied it, Then rescued it, and on his napkin dried it, His only hair. His pet, his flowing tress, Chill was his forehead, deep his heart's distress. 'I'm bald at last,' he wailed, in bitter grief, 'My only hair has fallen like a leaf. What ho! A taxidermist,' shouted he, 'I'll have it stuffed, for all mankind to see. And when, within its case of glass installed, The world shall see I was not always bald.' |
