So let me tell you a funny story that happened a couple of weeks ago. This is a true story.
FNNR and I frequently carpool to work. One of us enjoying the windows down (me) and one enjoying the windows up (FNNR) caused me to put a brush in the car to cut any excuses of "my hair's being all messed up." Here is a rough picture of the brush:
For those of you that don't know (like me) these types of brushes are used for blow drying curls into your hair. The diameter of the brush directly correlates to the length of hair it's to be used for. Small for short hair. I figured a brush was a brush and all will all de-tangle hair.
So put us parked in the parking lot about three minutes before I'm supposed to clock in. I'm brushing my hair before going into work and wonder if I can make my hair curl with this brush. FNNR just laughs at me and says no, but I wanted to try it anyway. I take an inch width of the front of my fairly long hair and roll it up. I blow on it for the "blow dry" look. When it comes to take it out and admire my cute curl nothing happens because the brush is virtually permanently attached to my head. I yanked and pulled and tugged and the brush didn't move. I start getting in a slight panic because I have to clock in or I'll be late for work. I look at FNNR who laughs then tries to get it out. When her face turns serious I go into ultra panic mode. I had somehow gotten the hair wrapped in both directions around the thing. I don't know how. I urge FNNR to just cut the brush out since I have to clock in. I even opted to just go in with the brush attached and cut it out if she wouldn't. She said I'd look retarded with half of my hair cut off and I retorted well I can't look amazing with a brush stuck out of the side of my head either. She eventually got the thing untangled from my then tender and sore scalp all the while me urging and pleading for her to just cut it off.
Perhaps the funniest bit is when she rolled down the window and threw the brush to the ground with a disgusted, "geez!" I ran into work and was only one minute late to work.
It's not too funny reading about it, but if you were there you would have laughed until you cried like we eventually did.
Glad you know me, huh?

Might I recommend a stylish hat for your drive to work when you have the window down. It would be a lot less painful and I like hats.
