C'mon guys, it's quite simple: 'Head' is a synonym for 'cranium', 'cranium' can be mistaken for 'geranium', a flower, which is a homonym for 'flour', and.....and.....where was I?

It has something to do with how a rug can tie a room together?

Maybe it is similar to a kid hollering "mom!" or "dad", when inside a grade school gym, county fair.

What do you cut a large body of water with ?
Why, a sea-saw of course.

Perhaps it's one of those revisionist Catholic things.
I don't get it either.

Everyone has a head, right? (I think that's true). Say you're at a Cardinals game and someone says "hey you with the red shirt." Then Cardinal fans stop and think, "me? I have a red shirt" but EVERYONE has a red shirt.
Isn't that funny?

Yabbut, it's a rip off of the old "Hey you with the liver" joke.

That, perhaps, is why it was modified to 'head'?

It still doesn't make sense. But then I was one of those people who watched Seinfeld and thought - What is the fuss about? When are they going to do or say something, anything that is funny?

Let me try again,
I went to the store for milk and came home with bananas. How old am I?
No wait,
The train left Chicago at 4:30 at arrived in St. Louis at 6:00, how fast was the train going? Oh, sorry it's funny joke Thursday not math joke Saturday.

Another one from Isaac Asimov:
A preacher was describing in graphic terms the events on Judgment Day.
He said "Oh my friends, imagine the suffering of the sinners, as they are cast into eternal flames. Imagine the wailing, weeping, the gnashing of teeth!"
A hand shot up from the congregation. An older gentleman stood up and asked "Reverend Jones, what if the damned have no teeth?"
The preacher cried out with his fist pounding on the pulpit "Is there anything too hard for the Lord? When a soul is sent to perdition, rest assured that teeth will be supplied".

The quality of life depends on the liver.

Oh, one's quality of life depends on his/her many organs and body parts, some more important than others of course.
The only thing that is useless is the appendix. Even here, it does not help, but certainly can hurt your quality of life.

Or perhaps not....

Although it is widely viewed as a vestigial organ with little known function, recent research suggests that the appendix may serve an important purpose. In particular, it may serve as a reservoir for beneficial gut bacteria
