JUST FOR FUN: L ITTLE-KNOWN FACTS In the late 1700s, many houses consisted of a large room with only one chair. Commonly, a long wide board folded down from the wall, and was used for dining. The 'head of the household' always sat in the chair while everyone else ate sitting on the floor. Occasionally a guest, who was usually a man, would be invited to sit in this chair during a meal. To sit in the chair meant you were important and in charge. They called the one sitting in the chair the “chair man.” Today in business, we use the expression or title “Chairman” or “Chairman of the Board.” In the old days, personal hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result, many women and men by adulthood had developed acne scars. The women would spread bee's wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions. While they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman's face she was told “mind your own bee's wax.” Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term
“crack a smile.” In addition, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt…therefore, the expression “losing face.” Common entertainment included playing cards. However, there was a tax levied when purchasing playing cards but it was only applicable to the “Ace of Spades.” To avoid paying the tax, people would purchase 51 cards. However, since most games require 52 cards, these people were thought to be stupid or dumb because they weren't “playing with a full deck.” PARTING SHOTS “Sooner or later we all quote our mothers.” – Bern Williams “Television has raised writing to a new low.” – Samuel Goldwyn “Television enables you to be entertained in your home by people you wouldn't have in your home.” – David Frost “He without benefit of scruples his fun and money soon quadruples.” – Ogden Nash “The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.” – Casey Stengel “How come there's only one Monopolies Commission?” -- Nigel Rees “Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.” --Carl Zwanzig
