You know how they say that the toothbrush was invented in the south, because if it had been invented anywhere else it would have been called the teethbrush? Well, I was just wondering if weed whackers were invented by the Mafia. I mean think about it, who else uses the term “whack” to to describe killing? “Hey Paulie, you want I should go out and whack those weeds for you?” “Yeah Vinnie, I don’t want one of those goomba’s left. I want you’s to go after their family, and everybody they know. I want the whole lot of dem whacked good.” If this is the case, then does that mean that the entire lawncare industry is a racket? I guess after prohibition was lifted, the money had to come from somewhere.
I suppose that this might be the type of curiosity that “whacked” the cat, but oddly enough these are the things that go through my head. My world is an interesting place.
