--- The guys who pile and unpile the rugs all day win all bar fights. That's heavy lifting. That's a thankless job. You don't want to mess with them. "Hey, Shag Boy" can get you into trouble.
--- Looking at rugs as they are displayed will take you back to your grandparents' homes. You will hunger for freshly baked anything with ice cream. Something will be wrong, though, and you'll find the old person smell disturbingly missing. Your brain will know.
--- FINDING the perfect rug is impossible. That's because most rugs have pile which is directional and changes looks from different angles as it catches the light on the shiny side. It's not unlike the "bar closing time effect" on singles, when things look differently. When you think you have the perfect rug, look from the other side. You will realize you don't. The dark side is real.
--- You will never have the right lighting conditions in your house or trailer.
--- All spills will take place on the bright side.
--- The term "vegetable dye" is used knowingly by rug sellers. Nobody knows what it means.
--- Shag, a.k.a., "the roach farm," was a good era we all miss, but can't bring back. If you ever scraped the rug and smoked what you got, you were part of the 70s.
--- rug prices are beyond comprehension and contain only a single distilled drop of reality. We saw an antique rug for $75,000. I wanted something freshly baked with ice cream. It was beautiful. Didn't smell right, though.
--- if you find used rugs on line, before purchase, be sure to look for blood stains with the CSI flashlight and filter kit.
--- Persian rugs aren't made in Persia. Purses are. And cats.
