How do they know?

Now here's one that's been bugging me for years. Perhaps someone out there knows the answer. If so PLEEEEASE post a comment!

You know when there's a big accident or a grizzly murder and there is hardly anything left of the poor bugger to name them from? So the forensic peeps turn to dental records to identify the body - you hear it quite often on the news.

Now here's the thing: If they can't identify the body, how do they know who their dentist is?

The Holywood Swallow.

Who shall I have a go at today? I know! Those idiots who throw their heads back when swallowing an aspirin or some such other pill. What the fuck's all that about?

"Oooh, it's hard to get down", I'm told. Bollocks! An aspirin's about as small as you can get (except for a microdot... so I'm told!). What about when you've a gob full of mashed potato at the dinner table? - You don't keep on throwing your head back every time you swallow, like some sort of demented lizard or a blood-crazed T.Rex off Jurassic Park.

No, I think you've seen it on telly. I think it's a Hollywood swallow, designed so that viewers actually know that the actor is supposed to be swallowing something. The same kind of point that I made about Hollywood gun holding in my previous post. Bloody Yanks. They've a lot to answer for.

Superstitious?

Well I'm not, but...

As I was getting out the shower yesterday, there was a hair in the bath formed into a perfect pound symbol. Now does that mean I have money coming to me, or a big bill to pay? I'll let you know when it happens.

Meanwhile, back to the Twilight Zone. Do do do do, do do do do....
