From the inbox today.

The email was entitled “Something for the weekend?” and was advertising the services of a mobile hair dresser – basically a chair + accessories built into the back of a tall commercial van.

That’s fine, but the title is hilarious. “Something for the weekend?” is code for “would you like to buy some condoms in case you pull?” and is the traditional phrase used when a young male leaves the hair dresser on a Friday night or Saturday morning. It seems our ‘marketing person’ identified this phrase with hair dressers in the context of “no thanks, short back and sides only please” without further insight.
