cartoon caveman Ming and the fishbone comb
We were kitchen dancing to the B-52s. "You look like a caveman!" I told Ming. "Your forehead is oily, and you need to comb your hair..."
He rubbed his forehead with his wrist. "Is it gone?" he asked.
"Yeah, much better," I said.
"Glad my forehead is gone!" he said.
"Yeah, now you have a three-head" I said. We laughed.
"How will I comb my hair?" he asked. We have a woeful lack of combs in our life.
"With your fingers!" I said.
"I can use a fish bone," he said. We laughed more.
There was a comb from some Viking excavation, and the scientists were curious about the word that was carved on it--found out the word was "comb." For some reason, I think about that all the time.
