Yesterday, I watched the episode of 'Dirty Jobs' where Mike Rowe learns how to tan hides at a tanning factory. While they are throwing the deer hides into a giant vat of something disgusting, Mike comments on the fact that one of the hides has hair on the wrong side and charmingly wonders aloud if perhaps he has discovered a new species of deer, one with the fur on the inside.
Then last night, I was in bed reading 'The Once and Future King', and I came across the following: "Said he was a wolf, only the difference was a wolf's skin was hairy on the outside, his on the inside."
Two references to animals with hair on the inside in one day? I wonder if the hair-on-the-inside wolves eat the hair-on-the-inside deer.
