As usual, I come too late to be of service - Mod-god, Plutarch (good to see you back) and Dr Bill have all done the job excellently. We are beholden to them for their efforts.

Dear Plutarch: You might have mentioned that Englich gentlemen often wore wigs not
only because they were bald, but to escape the problem of head lice.

thanks plutarch! and thanks tsuwm, for the cat-tongue one. I wonder if it comes at all from the myth that cats steal your breath? breath and tongue both hangin' out in the mouth region for some of the time, anyway...! I remember waking in the middle of the night, back when I had my last cat, to find her sitting on my chest with her face an inch away from mine. Even though I don't believe the myth about breath-stealing, it was a spooky moment. Brrrr.... And Uncle Bill - couldn't you also say, "I see, said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer and saw"?!

Dear MG: No such thing as wooden louvers in blinds these days.

"I see, said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer and saw"?!
Why not go one step further and make it a blind carpenter who picked his hammer and saw?
I seem to recall an entire genre of these:
--the anosmic fisherman who caught a barrel of herring and smelt
--the deaf cowboy who went out with his dog and herd
and so on...

Dear wofahulicodoc: I had a uncle who stood up in the kitchen sink to fix the curtain of the window
bhind the sink. He slipped and bit his tongue half off. My grand father sewed his toung together.
He wore awful neckties because he lost his taste.(True story, except for necktie bit.)

Hi, Sweet Musick! :-) Will Smith said Elvis has left the bldg. in Independence Day. If the phrase existed before that movie, I don't know about it.
