MacPhisto - Don't know the original song but this parody cracks me up!! It takes me back to Audubon Junior HIgh School, in the Crenshaw District of Los Angeles, CA. Had a Health Teacher named Mr. Fried. Had sort of a quirky sense of humor. Anyway, one day he started the class by telling us one of the things he was required to discuss in the course during the semester was avoiding head lice, and, should one fail that first endeavor, how to rid one's self of them. Anyway, He told us about basic cleanliness and hygiene to avoid getting the little buggers in the first place and then with total dead-pan demeanor he starts off by telling us that to get rid of them one should "completely shave the hair off one side of your head". He stops to let this sink in, make sure we are all following, you know. He goes, "Everyone got that? Good...OK, then, (he turns, pauses, and peers over these thick, black-frame coke-bottle lens glasses) pour gasoline on the other half." - For some reason all of us 8th graders were still totally silent at this point. - He continues, "Then take a match or lighter and ignite that half, and when the head lice come running out grab an ice pick and smash them, one at a time." We are started to crack up and he doesn't stop, just says, "now open your books to..."and just carries on without a glimmer of grin or smile...hadn't thought of this in a long time but I'll never forget it...ahhh...GERALD Fried, yeah...that was him...OH, MacPhisto, Congrats on reaching your 25th post here!

Funny story man... lol... Thanks
