'scissors' means 'a pair of scissors', but if it means the same why take the trouble to say 'a pair of', na? And then if we really needed two of them what would we say? A pair of a pair of scissors? :P See.. like a great philosopher said, English is a phunnieee language.. or was it Amitabh Bachhan? :P
