Thoughts While Getting My Hair Cut
You can't abbreviate your hair.
Even though that's what abbreviate means. “Make it brief” and brief means short.
Except I guess that brief generally means short in terms of time, huh? A brief moment, a brief note.
Oh, a brief note...briefcases! Named for carrying legal briefs, briefcases are full of shortened versions of the full case files, which were shortened, much like hair is.
I guess these days you're probably just putting a laptop in your briefcase. Do people do that? I just use my backpack.
But...legal briefs are physically shorter, right? I guess we think about written things in terms of reading time, not physical size, huh?
Oh, we're done? Should I say “thanks for abbreviating my hair?” Nah, that's stupid.
Thanks!
