TV advert.
What channel is this particular episode of Friends on Soph?
E4+1.
Right, so we’re watching E4+1 and there was just a phony TV advert.
You know the sort, lots of cheesy shots and all the dialogue dubbed to hide the fact that the sponsors are tighter than a duck’s arse when it comes to putting out advertisements in the country they were intended to be viewed.
Anyway, the award winning dialogue said:
“As a hairdresser, people ask me lots of things…”
What?
Lots of things?
Things like…
What’s the value of Pi?
3.14159265358979323846 in decimal or 3.243F6A8885A308D31319 in hexadecimal
Or…
How many muscles does a cat have in each ear?
32
Or…
Who is credited with the invention of the scissors? (Come on! Every hairdresser should know this!)
Leonardo da Vinci
Or even…
What is the longest word you can type on the top row of a keyboard?
Typewriter
Nah, I bet people don’t actually ask you any of these things.
I also bet that people don’t ask you lots of things really.
I just wish the people who write your scripts would get their collective heads out of their collective arses and do their fucking job properly.
And treat us as if we were fully cognitive adults.
For a change.

Is that true about the muscles in a cat’s ear? I’ve just been watching Edwina twitching hers in her sleep – it’s such a strong/quick/spasmodic movement, I’m thinking there might be closer to thirty-four. But she’s a weird cat.
Sounds like a good fun weekend. I don’t envy you the snow, though.

Of course it’s true about the muscles in a cats ear! Do you have me confused with some skanky ho fibber from France? 🙂
OK then Mr Cleverclogs, what is the longest word that you can type using on the left hand? I mean typing properly as a trained typist would, not the two finger, rubbishy sort of typing that I do.
OR, what is hair made from anyway?
OR, a true hairdresser question, where are you going on your holidays this year?
Aha! I know the answer to that one (as a true touch typister would): stewardessessessessessessess!
Hair is made from hair stuff. And quick-cook spaghetti pasta.
Haven’t the faintest idea. But if you do, please let me know!
🙂
LOL…
My friends and family have learned to either turn the channel, or engross me in some banal conversation as soon as dubbed ads come on. They drive me MAD!!! Especially the ones that are patently obvious. I believe the advertisers reasons are to do with voiceover pay as opposed to actors pay, but, as films and TV programs have managed to dub successfully for decades, it still drives me up the wall.
And don’t even get me started on Cilit Bang, or whatever it’s called… ARGGGGGHHHHH!!!
A couple of years ago, in a quiz at my local, we got the question “What is the only 10-letter word you can type using only the top row of a standard keyboard?”
Obviously, I immediately wrote “Typewriter”, but as the quiz went on, I occasionally returned to the question and also entered “Proprietor” and “Perpetuity” (I’d watched an episode of The Practice the night before and it came up a lot).
Never got any extra points 🙁
Damn those “quizmaster’s decision is final” rules….
Oh, and…
Keratin
I generally ask for a 3 back and sides and a trim on top.
I tend ask it of a barber, rather than a hairdresser.
I’m weird, I don’t like women cutting my greying, receeding thatch
Gumph, there’s a place in the centre of Worcester where the hairdresser I see (Kate) gives the most amazing head massage. 🙂
