Recently I lost my comb.

I went to the local dairy (convenience store) to buy a new one.

I was in luck! In a dusty box on the floor below the shaving cream was a "Family 6 Pack" of "high quality" Unbreak-able " combs. And only $2. Brilliant - I wouldn't have to buy another comb in years!


I also liked how the word 'unbreakable' is broken in two. Little did I know that the irony would spread also to the combs themselves...

When I got home and spread my new possessions out on my desk I noticed the the tie-dye patterning gave the combs a strong resemblance to raw bacon. Bonus!


As I struggled through my first use, I experienced pain. Which turned quickly to anger when I discovered that though my combs were indeed unbreakable, they were in fact still shit.


After one use:

A family pack of 6 one-time-use combs means I have 5 more days to go shopping at a more reputable comb outlet.
