Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for May 16, 2023

Come on Arlo, even I had a pocket comb for years since they have been forgotten.

Those were the days! Volaré, oh-oh / Cantaré, oh-oh-oh-oh / Nel blu dipinto di blu / Felice di stare lassù

“Just give me a minute while I dig out my bottle of Vitalis.”

I think I still have handkerchiefs in my dresser drawer.

Arlo, get a Perm, real tight curl

Old school here. I still carry my Ace comb and a handkerchief in my back pocket.

My parents had a Plymouth volare. What a POS. Man, that was a long time ago.

Pocket comb tucked into my pocket protector.

I used to carry a pocket comb. Then I changed my hairstyle to buzzcut. Low maintenance rules!

Reminds me of my wife asking where my watch is ten years after I quit wearing it.

Question is…If it slid between the seats, either you took it out of your pocket…or…the pocket was upside down so it slid out…and why was the pocket upside down? lol

I carry a comb, but it’s just for my beard these days.

Ah. 1976. When even the so-called compact cars were gas guzzlers. Setting the stage for fuel shortages and lineup at the pumps. I wonder if Arlo had the 360 cu. in. version.

Sing it, Ricardo!

The day I showed up at boot camp in 1988 was probably the last time I ever used a comb. After that, every time I got out of the shower looked in the mirror and thought “I might need to comb my hair” was the day I stopped and had my hair cut.

I don’t know anyone who calls a guy’s comb a “pocket” comb. Usually it’s just “comb”.

A car so mediocre it barely made 7th place in Cartalk’s “Worst Car of the Millenium” poll. https://www.cartalk.com/content/whats-worst-car-millennium-4

“The stalling problem was so bad that I had to take a clockwise route to work so I could make all right turns, and not risk stalling on a left turn in front of oncoming traffic.”

“After the floor boards rusted out in the rear, they would fill up with water and freeze. I ended up putting soda crates on the floor in the back to keep people from falling under the car.”

“The only useful purpose this car served was as the model for the car used in National Lampoon’s Vacation.”

“Owning a Volare was total ego death—the theme song, the vinyl Landau roof, the inability to pass another car on the highway.”

Volare, oh oh

Cantare, oh oh oh oh

No wonder my happy heart sings

Your love has given me wings

Arlo and Janis need to have some volare in bed!

mine is probably under the seat of my Pontiac Tempest….

worst car ever. drove the station wagon

I’m older than Arlo. I had a ‘57 Belvedere.

Did it have seats with “rich corinthian leather”?

Which is better: Domenico Modugno’s “Nel blu di pinto di blu” or Dean Martin’s “Volare?” (btw: no “accento acuto” on “Volare.”)

Brylcreem. A little dab’ll do you.

I stopped carrying a comb when I re-arranged my pockets to accommodate a cell phone. Haven’t missed it.

Arlo still has a full head of hair. Don’t worry, Janis, age will take care of that.

Most of the time I don’t need a comb, just ruffle and go

Rich Corinthian Leather..

Why is he still a blond?

Kookie, lend me your comb.

Wow…another Plymouth reference! Me and SusanSunshine were just mentioning the Plymouth Volare a few days ago.

I think I can still buy a pocket comb for a dollar at my barber shop.

Now how many people know what the heck he is talking about? I guess if you know what an 8-track tape is.

I actually, truly had a Plymouth Volare. 1979.
