A cat can cut your hair!

My idea is that a cat could cut your hair, or my hair. And that this would save money. And give cats something to do.

People say that everything has been done, thought of, and is the topic already of a website, but that is not true, I did a google search for my idea (thought of with help from Tom, or maybe by Tom, I can't remember) and it returns zero results because no one has yet thought of the following:
a) How appropriate it seems for cats to cut hair, or to sit on a girl's/boy's head and trim hair while the person goes about their day.
b) How much money I could save by training a cat to do this!

As discussed!

I cannot remember the exact origins of the cat-hair-cutting concept. I feel like it was spawned in the depths of the Struggles Residence Hall at Columbia. I feel like it had something to do with presidents or candidates for president. And I also feel like it came from some discussion about how there should be a unit of measure based on the length of the president's hair (much like the inch was once -- apocryphally or not -- based on the size of the king's thumb).

However, since hair is constantly growing, we'd need some sort of device to ensure that the president's hair was always of a constant length. And then it was suggested that you could get a cat, because cats have claws that could cut hair (and perhaps in homage to Puff Daddy). And the cat could sit on the president's head and constantly cut his hair so that it was always the right length.

Of course, this concept sprawled into discussions of the vice-cat, who cuts the vice-president's hair. And other cats which perform important duties in the white house and on capital hill.

I think Rushin was there, too.

The difficulty, I think, is getting properly motivated cats. They're so grumpy and selfish, cats are. Even when presented with a perfectly reasonable idea, like cutting hair, they refuse to cooperate.

Yes, this now makes even more sense. Thank you.

Hmmm, what would you call this business?

Oh! I just remembered one of the more important cat-duties (hehe)! There was a Congress cat whose job it was to roam the halls of Congress and trip senators or representatives. Thus, the young and sprightly congressmen would survive, while the old and doddering congressmen would die and be replaced. No need for term limits, then!

Dude, it is such a good idea. What is it called, I don't know.

Do you know, I have not had my hair cut since May, and I have saved like $100??
