COMBOVER
You know how we have 'Today's Movie'; the NYTimesBest1176? Well, here is a possible Today's Movie Tomorrow. We are waiting for the release of this new work in progress; but for now will have to look at the trailer and the notes: COMBOVER: THE MOVIE (????). Take a look at the trailer. It is pretty good.
I used to work with a guy, Jack, who had a combover almost as thick as this one. He worked in a coffee roasting plant and had frequent call to climb around bins and pipes and other paraphenalia. Occasionally, the combover would release from Jack's head and float to its full length. The damn thing hung down below his shoulders. He would give us a face and step back, flip it up and, somehow, the bond on his bald spot would grab the hair and hold it up again. I do not know what was on his head; but it had to be a wonder adhesive.
That is about my whole interpersonal experience on the subject. I have been around others who had what you could call a combover but I had been so sensitized by Jack, my original guy, nothing else ever came up to it.
