My wife has been pretty sick since Wednesday, but she was nice enough to push through and cut my hair tonight.

I'm taking her to the walk-in in the morning. I'm a little worried, because she never gets sick, and I'm hoping it's not Covid.

While she was cutting my hair, she said "Jesus, you're a hairy guy".

That reminded me of this song because of the "Hair throng, goo tongue" line, so I started serenading her with this version.

The first line is "For hither not", and that line makes me laugh because it is so non-sensical. She asked me what "For hither not" meant, and I said "You have to understand that they wrote this song in a horse barn that was converted into a recording studio while high on acid and while watching a belligerent stallion prance around in a neighboring field".

She kept admonishing me because I was laughing so hard that I was shaking and making her miss with the clippers.

I think I cheered her up a little. I hope she is going to get over this sickness soon...she sounds pretty rough. If I could take this sickness from her, I would.

She really stoic, but I can tell she feels horrible.

She's had all of her shots except for RSV.

Thanks, yellow dahlia.

As a fan of Mr. Ed since his show was first run, this made me LMAO. Never heard Ween (or heard of them/him) before but this juxtaposition of the song with Mr. Ed scenes is simply brilliant.

Thanks for sharing!
