BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI

Dear Tom and Ray:Recently while looking in my

tailpipe, I noticed a smallamount of what appeared to behuman hair sticking out. I beganto pull on it, and at least 10 feetof strung-out human hair cameout! How, where and why did itget in there? It’s a 1996 Saab. --Harris

TOM: Well, Harris, you’ve dis-covered where the Hair Club forMen gets its replacement locks.When they put you on the list,and say they’re waiting for adonor, they’re out snoopingaround supermarket parkinglots.

RAY: It DOES look like humanhair, Harris, but it’s really justplastic. It’s sound-deadeningmaterial that’s used inside cer-tain mufflers to slow down theexhaust and muffle the enginenoise.

TOM: And when a mufflergets worn out, the insulation canstart to escape and work its waydown the exhaust pipe, until it

looks like you’ve run over ZZTop and are dragging them downthe street under your car.

RAY: So you need to replaceyour muffler, Harris. It’s noturgent, but you want to do itbefore it gives up all of its hair --and looks like me!

Muffler Is Growing HairBY TOBIN BARNES

I have a dog’s vision of para-dise in my house. It’s a virtualmanifestation.

Now don’t get me wrong. Idon’t believe in magic anymore,but my dog most certainly does.

As for me, long ago I realizedthat even when extraordinarythings happen, there’s always aperfectly reasonable explanation,even if we don’t know what thatmight be when it happens. It’s kindof…oh well, someday we’ll figureout the why and the wherefore. It’sjust a matter of time and science.

That’s not the reality my dogMolly is living, however. From herviewpoint, just about everything ismiraculous. Dogs, I think, live a lifeof wonder, which has its negativesand its positives.

The negatives include Molly’sinability to rationalize the terror ofthunder and lightning. These andother natural phenomena she justhas to hunker down and endure,like why the heck that mean dogplagues her existence when shejust wants to be friendly.

And the positives?

Well…they’rewondrous andinnumerable, likea veritable host ofangels. Alleluia!Those positivesbegin and endwith humans,which, to dogs,are spiritualavatars of divini-ty.

It’s like the witticism, “A dogthinks: Hey, these people I livewith feed me, love me, provide mewith a nice warm, dry house, petme, and take good care of me.They must be gods!”

But then “a cat thinks: Hey,these people I live with feed me,love me, provide me with a nicewarm, dry house, pet me, and takegood care of me. I must be a god!”

We used to have cats, but nowwe have a dog—maybe for self-esteem reasons. After all, asHolbrook Jackson said, “Man is adog’s idea of what God shouldbe.”

And, evidently, we’re fitting thebill.

Whenever we put food in her

bowl, it makes our dog excited—so much so that it’s like Molly’sthinking: “Hey, that’s just what Iwanted!” And when we take herfor a walk, she’s absolutelythrilled and seems to be thinking,“Hey, that’s just what I wanted!”And when the gas stove comeson after it’s gotten a little chillyand Molly goes to lie in front of it,it’s kinda like, “Hey, this place isperfect. It’s just what I wanted.”

As an unknown author hassaid, “The dog is the only animalthat has seen his god.”

To Molly, we are it—perhapsin some sort of dogmatic duality.

Not only that, but we provideher with intermittent visions ofheaven…and that’s every time weopen the refrigerator door.

Nirvana is right there inMolly’s glistening eyes and in herabsolutely rapt worshipful devo-tion. As I open the door, it’s as if Ihave said, “Let there be light,” andthere it is, displaying everything adog could ever want.

But then the door closes againand the vision ends, as all visionsmust.

The door stands in the wayuntil the gods open it again—notonly the door to heaven but allthose darned doors.

I’ll never forget the GaryLarson “Far Side” cartoon of thesedog scientists dressed in lab coats(no pun intended) conductingexperiments and writing mathe-matical equations on a blackboardtrying to decipher the complexi-ties of opening a door knob.

Alas, this and so much else isout of reach of dogs, but onething most certainly is firmly intheir control: bringing uncondi-tional companionship into ourlives.

As Samuel Butler said, “Thegreat pleasure of a dog is that youmay make a fool of yourself withhim and not only will he not scoldyou, but he will make a fool ofhimself too.”

Amen

KNOWLEDGE IS PREVENTION

Some Important Facts You Should Know

About Colorectal Cancer!• Colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the United States

after lung cancer.

• More than one-third of colorectal cancer deaths could be avoided if people

over 50 had regular screening tests.

• Most colorectal cancers begin as polyps. (Polyps are growths on the inner

wall of the colon or rectum.)

• People who have polyps or colorectal cancer do not always have symptoms.

• Screening tests are so important because they can find colorectal cancer

early, when treatment works best.

• When colorectal cancer is detected in the earliest stage of the disease

(Stage 1), the survival rate is greater than 90 percent.

• Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers. Screening tests

can help prevent colorectal cancer by finding pre-cancerous polyps so they

can be removed before they turn into cancer.

• Risk increases as we age. The risk of developing colorectal cancer

increases with age. In fact, most cases (92%) occur in people 50 and older.

• Both men and women are at risk.
