That's because his head isn't the only place it gets used.
He scrapes barnacles off his dinghy with it.

Good one Vrigil. And on matters of perpectives..( I ran into 18 bikers from Toronto Sunday morning at a local cafe. Their jackets said "Harley Davidson Of Toronto". They are here for the Sturgis Bike Ralley) How do you refer to folks from Torono? Torontonians or ??

"Torontonians" is correct. I wonder if there's a website that covers all the -ians, -ers, and -ites? ![](http://syonidv.hodginsmedia.com/vsmileys/nerdy.png) Houstonians? Houstonites? Los Angels? Do people actually say they're from Los Angeles, or to they refer to the city proper? "I'm from Culver City. I'm from Hollywood." Miamians? Miaminos? Or maybe just: "I'm from the 'duh' state." ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Aw, thanks. Not a complete list, by any means. But some of them are funny. A Boltonian (England), Edinburgers (Scotland - sounds like a good menu item), Novocastrians (New South Wales) and Wulfrunians (Wolverton, England).
A few of the names could be fodder for a good zombie/horror/slasher movie.

Or you could draw a cartoon figure of someone asking for financial advice, and then in the next frame, have them ignoring any and all suggestions being offered by a dozen or so other cartoon figures and merrily going along their same (financial) path singing tra-la-la. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
