black, white, or whatever what makes people think that they have the right to put their hands on another person without their permission.

WHO THE FUCK CARES HOW IT LOOKS! You can't just pet a person because you're amazed at their hair. Black women are not pets and even with pets, you don't go touching them without permission either.

Speaking of throwin' Bs. . .

This has happened to me, in the workplace, which is why I posted it. I just keep thinking of that saying, "See with ya eyes, not with ya hands."

Exactly. This is the gag name of one of the joke firms mentioned at the end of "Car Talk" on NPR...

Uh, that joke probably dates back at least half a century.

Could be.

Actually, it's a registered trademark of the show... I just checked their site.

Dewey, Cheatem & Howe ("Do we cheat 'em? And how!") is the gag name of a fictional law firm, used in several parody settings. For example, a popular Three Stooges poster features the Stooges as bumbling members of such a firm (although the name was never used in an actual episode, "Dewey, Burnham, and Howe" was used). Similarly, mention of a firm by this name is employed by comic figures such as Johnny Carson, Groucho Marx and Daffy Duck. In Leisure Suit Larry 3, the protagonist must pay several visits to a firm by this name.

The name pokes fun at the perceived propensity of some lawyers to take advantage of their clients. Many law professors perversely work "Dewey, Cheatem & Howe" into the hypotheticals presented on final exams, especially in professional responsibility and legal ethics courses.

Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers, the pseudonyms of Tom and Ray Magliozzi of NPR's Car Talk radio program, named their corporation for managing the business end of Car Talk "Dewey, Cheetham & Howe." The DC&H corporate offices are located on a third-floor office, directly above the corner of Brattle and JFK Streets, in Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The office is clearly visible from the square and, like the show, is a perennial source of amusement to the denizens of Cambridge.

The name is mentioned in the film One Night at McCool's during an early scene with Paul Reiser and Matt Dillon.

The UK magazine Private Eye uses the similarly-inspired "Sue, Grabbitt and Runne" (sue, grab it and run) when satirising the legal profession, reflecting the magazine's experience defending from libel lawsuits.

In the Simpsons episode "Bart the Fink" the family visits the law firm: "Dewey, Cheathem, Howe, & Weissmann" (the joke being that the addition of "Weissmann" ruins the pun). Similarly, on the sitcom 30 Rock there is a brief mention of the law firm "Dewey, Cheatham and Livingston".

In a set of legal forms published for lawyers and other legal professionals, one fictitious law-firm name is "Skrewer, Widow & Children."

In episode 4x02 of Gilmore Girls "Lorelai's First Day at Yale," Luke Danes tells a lawyer who represents his ex-wife that his lawyer was "Don Dewey; he works at the firm of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe." He also gives Dewey's phone number as 555-5555. When the lawyer says his bosses are going to learn about Luke's joking around, Luke replies, "Oh, come on; they've heard that one before."

The champion standardbred race horse Deweycheatumnhowe takes his name from this pun.

does all this apply to pubes as well???

girl, you can be at the top and bottom of my "totem pole" with that kinda talk....

A drunken man at a gay bar once yanked my hair on the back of my head. When I turned around to find out what the heck was happening, he proceeded to say "I thought it was a wig!" by way of explination.

I hated that.
