		The barber surgeon's necessities for that curious custom were a staff for the patient to grasp (so the veins on the arm would stand out sharply), a basin to hold leeches and catch blood, and a copious supply of linen bandages.
		One Interpretation of the colors of the barber pole was that red represented the blood, blue the veins, and white the bandages.

	Eyeing a Test for Barber Pole Worm / February 15, 2006 / News from the USDA Agricultural Research Service
		A test in the form of a plastic card featuring pictures of the eyes of sheep may help thwart the spread of barber pole worm, Haemonchus contortus, a parasite of small ruminants that’s becoming increasingly resistant to the chemicals used to control it.
		Barber pole worms are microscopic, blood-sucking pests that thrive in heat and humidity and induce fatal cases of anemia and “bottle jaw” disease in animals.
		The worms' increasing resistance to control chemicals--a result of widespread use of treatments--now threatens the entire goat and sheep population of the eastern United States, according to Burke, at ARS’ Dale Bumpers Small Farms Research Center in Booneville, Ark.

		Try not to laugh, but on my FS2k I have noticed that there is an indicator colored like a barber shop pole, when my airspeed indicator passes the pole I got the overspeed warning.
		I would like to see that, because poles on the planes i fly become more restrictive as altitude increases.
		Having an airspeed gage that gives IAS is nice because that is the speed that your wings are concerned with, but as you climb, it's the TAS (and therefore the mach) that will get you in trouble.
