And what is the difference between cutting one's hair and, say, cutting 
a rope? Cutting a banana? Cutting a presentation? Can you *chIp* a *much*?

Sorry, but when Okrand says /hair,/ he means /hair./ When Okrand says 
/percussion instrument,/ he means /percussion instrument./ When you slap 
your knees rhythmically, your knees ARE a percussion instrument. When 
you trim the lawn, the lawn is NOT hair. If Okrand had meant "(e.g., 
hair)" he would have written "(e.g., hair)."

At least until Maltz says otherwise.
