Socks for Christmas


My sister bought me a lovely pair of socks one year for Christmas instead of a second set of earphones. The socks had a bald man's head on them with a caption that said "I'm not bald, I'm just taller than my hair!"





I always thought it strange that the socks (manufactured for one's feet) should carry this message pertaining to a hairless head, at the other end of the body. Needless to say, there are too many holes in the socks for me to comfortably wear them any more. But I hit upon a great idea - I brought them to a jewellery manufacturer the other day, and had the pair attached to hoop earrings that dangle from my lobes. 

Now my socks convey their wonderfully self-deprecating message much closer to my head, and I no longer have to expose my ankles and look like a complete idiot in order to get a laugh!

    Too funny! I do love socks and I like to make earrings, but I don't think I'll ever wear sock earrings. haha

    LOL that's one of my favorite quotes! Have you ever watched NCIS? One of the characters is interviewing a witness that's bald and runs a barber shop and he comments that it's ironic seeing he's bald. A reply of "I'm not bald" is met with well you're taller than your hair. Always cracks me up no matter how many times I've seen the episode :)

    Happy A to Z-ing!

A is for The A Team AZ Challenge

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit... These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles Underground. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ladie's and gentlemen: The A-Team was made up of Hannibal, Face, B.A. and Murdock. Sgt Bosco BA Baracus was the muscle. BA's catchphrase was: "Shut the fuck up, muthafucka!" He was into his engines and loved his van but he had a fear of flying. Sometimes, he ate burgers that were drugged and he'd go straight to sleep and the rest of the A-Team would fly him to exotic locations where he would star in a series of direct-to-video porn movies, on which the Weekend at Bernie's franchise was based. He drank a lot of milk. There was often drugs in his milk too. Templeton "Face Man" Peck was the looker in the group. He was a lieutenant. He opened a chain of coffee houses after he left The A Team. It was very meta when he pointed at the...
