All About Wax

When you delve into it, wax is just a strange word. As a male, wax usually is associated with our cars, as for females, usually means hair removal. We don’t think about it as a word so much, even though many of our cosmetics have it (spermaceti – extracted from sperm whales - insoluble in water). Today, in the East we have the Waxing Crescent moon. Which got me thinking about wax. Why a Waxing Moon? I understand Waning, makes since. But Waxing? And then the more mouth-play phrase, Waxing Gibbous. Sounds dirty, and inherently funny for some reason. But I am way off topic here. So let's get a little help from Harrison Ford to see how waxing his chest can help save the world.

Okay, what?! I appreciate the sentiment, but looks like old Harrison just wanted an excuse to show he’s still got it. And if it's to help the rainforest, shouldn't it have been a brazilian?

If you dig way into the definition of wax, it can mean 'increasing.' Maybe I'm a little stupid and just didn’t know this. It goes way back to Galileo's discovery apparently supported by the Copernican theory (he wasn't much of a stud, check out the pic on the link!). Ok, so now really far from my point, but I have an inquisitive mind. And I really don’t have a point!

Since this blog is about advertising, I offer this up for your patience in letting me rant about something as mundane as wax. Loretta Lynn also hawked Crisco!  Enjoy…
