The exact length of Tran Van Hay's unwashed hair was unclear but the Vietnam News said it was 6.8 metres long (over 22 feet).

He could have single-handedly hid an entire VC platoon in that hair.

Pictures of swarming insects attracted to odoriferous objects during the summer months are buzzing around in my head.

'Cause he's an old hippie
And he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new.

He's and old hippie
This new life is just a bust
He ain't trying to change nobody
He's just trying real hard to adjust.

Could you imagine what a relief it would be to have that huge and heavy load of hair sheared from one's head?
Hopefully there were plans for the hair to be washed and utilized for wigs upon his death.

There is no way on God’s green earth that he smells worse than the Scottish nun who taught my graduate course in business ethics.

Was late the first day and had to sit right next to her.

Was never late again.
