From a reader:
Mr.. G:
You post “On The Spot” in the corner included the reference to “hair-brained issues”. The term is incorrect; it should be “hare-brained”, as in rabbit.
Now, I know that a hair has less brain than a hare. If fact a hair is brainless. Never the less you can’t be hair-brained because the hair has no brain to begin with. So it is not truly a no-brainer. Since this is a blog post, I suppose the issue will be, forgive me, “Hare today, gone tomorrow”
