Good Old Days?

Talking about  good old days:

Did you know
- that men and women took baths only twice a year (May and October)? When they changed from winter to summer clothing and vice versa, perhaps?

-  that women kept their hair covered,  while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs-hmmm did bugs prefer males ;-) ?) and wore wigs.


- that the wealthy men could afford good wigs made from wool. These wigs could not be washed, of course  so to clean them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig into it, and bake it for 30  minutes. 

The heat would make the wig big and fluffy/ Which is were we get the term 'big wig'!

Now, we often use the term 'here comes the Big Wig' because someone is powerfully wealthy.
Or seems to be  ;-)!
