My day today: Now with Police intervention!

And I think a lot of men secretly love it when we do....because we can, and will, hurt them.

Huh... and here I'm a brunette. What was Jackdaw thinking? (He admits that one of the reasons he teases so much is because he enjoys the adrenaline rush that some of my reactions produce).

That's because the courts in Canadia aren't as advanced.

My daughter is under a court order requiring her to color her hair red... something about truth in badvertising...

Not at all. That was also the first time I heard redheads called Gingers.

The Hebrew word for redhead is "Jinji", and I was so called when I was a lad. (My hair used to be bright red; it's gotten more brown as I aged, although my beard is now the color my hair used to be, bar a few grey hairs that have begun appearing.) It was obviously a loan-word, because native Hebrew words don't have J's in them, but I never connected it with "ginger" until years later when I came across the epithet "gingy-whiskers" in Kipling's Stalky & Co".
