A good cup of tea needs to brew in a good
tea-pot.
A good tea-pot needs to be kept warm.
Hair keeps the head warm.
Therefore a good tea-pot needs to wear a
wig.

Fairly similar idea that has been about for a little while, a knitted garment that keeps pots cosy! [FussyPedant, Mar 21 2007]

Tea Wig of Doom

This lady looks like she just put the Tea-Wig on by accident. [theleopard, Mar 21 2007]
Is this you [xenzag]?

Tea Cosy does not equal wig. |
|
| |
A wig can be combed, permed and
styled. |
|
| |
A good tea-pot can have ears, and a
nose
to
complement. |
|
| |
Therefore a good tea-pot needs a wig.
Q.E.D. |
|
| |
Personally, I would not trust the Quebec
English Dictionary on such a matter. |
|
| |
"logical wigs of tea". It has the rhythm
of a nursery rhyme verse. |
|
| |
Every time [xenzag] succeeds,
A little something in me dies. |
|
| |
... death of a thousand cups in this
instance |
|
| |
How do you counter infestations? |
|
| |
Tea-cosies are widely known to exist (in the UK). Particularly fine example linked. |
|
| |
[hippo] everyone knows cosies are knitted, not plaited. |
|
| |
ok then [hippo] find me one made of
hair that looks like a wig.... waits while tea
stews |
|
| |
By the same token shouldn't we all be wearing tea cosies on our heads? QED etc. |
|
| |
OK [xenzag] - mfd withdrawn
[AWL] That one *is* knitted! |
|
| |
[hippo] precisely my point - a hair cosy would be plaited, so the "widely known to exist" is not true and the now retracted [m-f-d] was bogus.
QED, bitch.
Maybe legal logical wigs of tea, made from horsehair, and reserved for members of the Bar? |
|
| |
//QED, bitch// ...[AWL] always wondered why he was kicked out of the debating society... |
|
| |
Hell, [hippo]. That teacosy really *is* posh. It buttons up the back! |
|
| |
Tea and buns for the name.+ |
|
| |
One problem I see with the actual idea is that wigs have a gap at the front for looking out of. Therefore, although bewigged on the back, top and sides, my teapot's face will be naked leading to untimely tea cooling. |
|
| |
// By the same token shouldn't we all be wearing tea cosies on our heads? QED etc. |

We do, they're called hats, though perhaps we should call them "head cosies" in this context. Although, once the tea is in our mouths, the hat might be argued to be cosying the tea too. The need for hats suggests that hair (at least human hair) is not that effective at insulating at a temperature difference of 70 degrees celsius plus. I would be more won over with "The logical sheepskin of tea"... |

Nonetheless, a bun for the mental picture of a tea-pot for Cousin Itt |
