SHAMPOO
Although shampoo is designed to clean hair, its name gives away its
true make-up: artificial shit. For centuries the aristocracy
continually got very annoyed, and beheaded the shit-sodden peasants
for having less dandruff than they did. Then about two hundred
years ago they realised that mixing shit into your hair was
actually one of the best ways to get rid of dandruff. Of course,
the cosmetics companies couldn't market real shit as a hair
cleaner, so chemists came up with an artificial version.

COMPUTER
An electronic device designed to make you rip your hair out. The
principles of a computer are very simple. You give the computer
some data as input, it messes, mixes, scrambles and screws up the
data until it is nonsensical and unrecognisable, and then it spits
it out the other end as output....
