Hair Clot saves the Day

I don't know how it happens that even though I am very careful not to let my long, thick, black hair slip down the sink drain, it still manages to get down there. Every once in a while the hair will slow down the drain enough that I have to pour some Drain-O down there or have the sink opened up to remove the offensive mass.

I've always thought that the hair downt he drain was a bad thing...but now I am thinking it might not be such a terrible thing. It has an upside - believe it or not.

A couple of months ago I dropped an earring down the drain. It was a small "X" shape earring of diamonds...it is a small earring but it is expensive - the pair cost about $1000...so each earring costs about $500. I was sure that the earring was gone, being so small...but I couldn't stand the thought of flushing $500 into the sewers So I asked Dan to open up the sink. Sure enough, my earring was caught in a gunky black ball of hair.

Now just a moment ago I went upstairs to discover that C had spit out his Kim-Pap (basically sushi without anything in it but rice) into the sink. THe sink was clogged up by the Kim-pap mess. I was too lazy to look for the Drain-O so I took my tweezers and tried to pick out some of the rice and seaweed. Well. I ended up picking out some black hair with rice chunked up in it...and Yup...the hair, once again kept the pipes clear.

See, hair in the drain can be a good thing.

I better get up and there replace the hair I just plucked out lest something else should try to glide down my sink!

This is pathetic. I can't believe this is interesting enough to me to post. UghhhhH!

OMG that is sooooo funny, unlike that novak ass clown who won't accept my challenge.

Utterly disgusting! But puts things into a new perspective and gives me something to come back with when my next beau complains ;) Being your sister - I deal with the same hair clog issues :)
