Opus 24, Why Isn’t Hair Contagious?

I accused a student of giving me her cough.  Then it occurred to me, she has a full head of hair; I would be classified as bald;  Why isn’t hair contagious?

Have you ever had those days when you wonder why God did things the way He did?  In my more arrogant days I wonder if I could have designed things better.  Like, mosquitoes.  What is their purpose in the great scheme of things?  Do we really need disease carrying blood suckers in every pool of standing water?  That seems a silly question is you look at the books kids are reading today.  We have invented our own blood suckers.

But then I remember how I can’t even get a simple recipe right.  I always leave something out or cook it too long or have the temperature too high.  Some times I walk across the room and can’t remember why.  How in the world would I design a universe?  It may be that before the Fall mosquitoes were given more than one note and they would sing people to sleep at night.  Maybe they would land on you and instead of punching a hole, they would scratch you where you itched.  It’s hard to tell.

Maybe if hair were contagious it would grow on your nose.
