Came across this tidbit from Gene Kruckemyer in an old "Semantics" column in The Orlando Sentinel (2 Dec 2007):
"What this country needs is a muffler that lasts as long as a beer can."
Barber-philosopher Richard Morgan, who cut my hair before he retired, made that observation to me about 20 years ago.
He also had a theory about men wearing out their left shoes first -- because when they open a car door to step inside, they always swivel on the ball of their left foot. Multiply that by several times a day and you can see why that shoe wears out first, he surmised.
Morgan owned Conway Barber Shop in Orlando and had cut my hair since, well, since there was enough up there to actually have a flattop in elementary school.
