Thought some of you might appreciate this one. From an old French newspaper dated 1 March, 1865. Going to have it framed when I get a chance.

This must be pre BBS and YMMV. These guys did not spend hours debating shaving, the body language seems to indicate that the barber was going to remove the man's nose with his 13/8ths.
Mr. Miller,
I changed my mind.... and was thinking about alternatives besides B&B....one of which was seeing if these guys that are coticule monks might take me in. They scare me a little though...I think they make trips out to the coticule mine and get naked. Then they sit at tables and sharpen their razors and shave all the while chanting secret coticule chants. They might smoke pipes too. I guess I'll just wait until I am asked to leave....like Catholic school.....seriously, the brothers told my mother she was wasting her money. She was relieved and I learned how to forge her handwriting because the public school had young ladies in it.....the forgery was to explain my frequent absences......
You might want to take it a little easy on that re-animation juice, if you know what I mean.
Actually realized not sure what you mean.......The reanimated man is a reference to the fact that at age 49 I drove myself about 6 miles to an emergency room and had about 3 minutes in the room before full cardiac arrest. I was dead. ER doc (whom I visited later) said that (as I was medevac'd out) I would either die or suffer some kind of brain impairment due to lack of oxygen...he said it took some crazy number of hits with the paddles to kick over the ticker...add to that a skin pop of dopamine which rots flesh out of a vein and does miracles in a vein...anyway, you get the idea of reanimation.....from dead to alive. But guess you were making reference to my humor which tends towards the absurd. So if you were offended my apologies. I'm reverting back to a lurker now, Adios.
