The duct tape I had been using so far was no good. I may have to go with a rubber band. Be careful. If you use the laser guided fork to eat the laser meatloaf you could blow up your house. ---

Is there a magnet in the laser comb? Because you know it isn’t a medical device unless there’s a magnet in it. ---

After cruising their boards, the majority of the comments are overwhelmingly positive, verging on the sort of comments one hears when someone has found religion and must tell you all about it. I’m running on the assumption that there must be some sort of placebo effect, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out what it might be. Can you \* think \* your way into stopping hair loss? ---
