This is a pain unlike any other...

So I gave myself a haircut two days ago (my hair was getting to the length where I had to start combing it a bit, so I just took my clippers and gave myself another crewcut), but unfortunately my clippers had a piece break off awhile back and now only cut on one setting: Ultra-Short. Not a big deal (or so I thought), since that just means that it'll be all the longer before I need to give myself another haircut.

Well, I spent most of yesterday outside reading and jogging and sleeping etc., and got quite a bit of sun. Now, my complexion's kinda dark, so I usually tan (rather than burn), but my scalp (being shielded by hair most of the time) hasn't been spending the past 20-odd years building up a tolerance to the sun. So, my scalp is now dark cherry red, and pieces of it keep peeling off. This is most unfortunate.

Methinks that those clippers are going in the garbage.

Interesting anecdote...might I suggest shampoo with Aloe Vera?

and a hat

[LTEC!]

Next time wear a hat.

[PLATO]

Ouch! Yes...A hat I think.

[loinburger]

Yeah, I'm debating over whether I should get a hat, or some new clippers. I'm worried that I'll forget to wear the hat the next time I cut my hair, since I never wear hats. I dunno if I want to take that risk.

And I was thinking that you're talking about your woman problem.

PMS?

Might I suggest a barber?

You have my thought's, perhaps you should write to the maker of you're clippers

Yes! then just like irons, which need instructions like "don't use on clothes you are wearing at the time", we can have instructions for clippers like

"don't use on your head when the result will be extremely short hair on a very sunny day when the burn factor is high."

Anybody remember the McDonald's lawsuit for the lady spilling coffe in her lap?

Sadly, the clippers are about fifteen years old (which is probably why the "thinginabobber that lets you adjust the clipper settings" part broke off), and I'd be surprised if there were still a company around to sue.

I could always try suing the power company, for not warning me that it was possible to get my scalp sunburned by using electricity that they furnished in order to power an old pair of hair clippers... Those bastards! I blame them!

PLATO, loads of ppl suid them, the coffee's when just brewed were virtually boiling and when spilt were indeed quite deadly - i never heard of the outcome tho??
