So if you were a polygamist, your wife wives might look like one Bourbon, one Scotch and one Beer.

LOL.

In one of my many former lives I worked as an electrical engineer at Motorola designing circuits for handheld VHF and UHF police / emergency responder walkie-talkie radios. High output power levels . . . up to six watts. Anyway, in the engineering library there was a Ph.D. thesis by Dr. Quirano Balzano (we called him "Dr. Q."). He actually strapped UHF police radios with antennas to the heads of pigs. Then he keyed up the radios on some of the pigs ("the police pigs") over time to simulate a lifetime of police use of these radios right next to their brains. The other pigs were "control pigs" and the radios strapped to their heads were never turned on. Then when the pigs were slaughtered, he took samples of their brains and ran them through a mass spectrometer. There were very different amino acid profiles between "the police pigs" and "the control pigs." Now I don't know what all that means, but I'm thinking it might not necessarily be good. I know that subsequently I noticed that many / most cops wore remote mic and control units on their chest and left the radios and antennas on their belts.

Closer to brain, or closer to... other equipment. Hmmm...
 
Random thought after seeing mention of Tony Bose a bit ago, thanks for understanding. About five years ago at Blade show I entered the Tony Bose lottery and my name was drawn first. Chose the most expensive knife he had, a $2400 Old Bone Stockman. About a year before I had my affairs in order I owed uncle Sam a reasonable amount so was forced to sell the Stockman for significantly more even before he passed. Never did feel too good about that one. Probably #2 biggest knife regret,,,dericdumbass 🥲
