Funny about this thread cause I was thinking about this just a few days ago.

I remember it well because I was in a public bath house shaving in Pompeii when Vesuvius went off. I had to run like hell and jump into the sea to get away from the ash. Most didn't make it.

I never did finish that shave. However I did convince Charlie Bresnick to create that Vesuvius razor. You all know why it has the Grim Reaper on it don't you? It's because he came calling on everyone that day in Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Think this is a tall tale?
