Likely the tip of the iceberg too. Makes my blood boil that we as a country can be so useless and such a soft touch.
Never knew about this. Interesting bit of history. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/history/gallery/in-memory-most-ordinary-people-9209156
Early in his pro tennis career, Andre Agassi couldn’t beat Boris Becker. Agassi particularly struggled with Becker’s serve. “His serve was something the game had never seen before,” Agassi explained. Studying film of Becker, “I started to realize,” Agassi said, “He had this weird tick with his tongue. I’m not kidding. He would go into his rocking motion, and just as he was about to toss the ball, he would stick his tongue out. It would either be right in the middle of his lip or to the left corner of his lip.” If in the middle of his lip, Becker would serve the ball up the middle. If to the side, he would serve the ball to the side. After he learned the way Becker revealed himself with a tongue tick, Agassi said, “The hardest part wasn’t returning his serve. The hardest part was not letting him know that I knew this. I had to resist the temptation of reading his serve for the majority of the match, and instead, choose the moments when I was going to use that information on a given point to execute a shot that would allow me to break the match open.” Agassi won 9 out of the next 11 matches against Becker. After Becker retired in 1999, over a beer, Agassi said to Becker, “By the way, did you know you used to do this with your serve?” Agassi said, “He about fell off the chair. And then he said, ‘I used to go home all the time and tell my wife, it’s like he reads my mind! Little did I know you were just reading my tongue.’”

Haven't had any for over 30 years, but I used to sometimes buy them from those 'scoop and weigh' shops. Many of those scratchings had hair still on them.
