Hot Air
Where does the hot air found in a blow dryer come from?
———- from Ken Kiselhorst of Atascadero, CA
I could be glib and tell you it comes from Washington or certain radio talk show hosts, but the fact of the matter is the hot air comes from Azerbadzhazn, a little noticed republic bordering Russia. Thanks to the ever present hot desert winds the country enjoys, Azerbadzhazn gave birth to what’s now called the “blow dried” look. Marco Polo never made it to Azerbadzhazn; if he had, chances are European fashions would have been influenced by the Azerbadzhaznian hairstyles, and the polyester look would have peaked around Shakespeare’s time. As to how this foreign air gets to your blow dryer, sorry, that’s not my department. I’m not a beautician, I’m a scientist, Ken.
