It's a piece of beeswax, beautifully fashioned into hexagonal cells and containing honey.
Or pollen or brood or an combination.
Why anyone should want one in his hair is another matter - although honey has been recommended as a hair restorer. Perhaps the customer started the morning bald ...

Paddy was working on scaffolding on a building site when he lost his balance and fell down. During the fall his ear caught on a sharp protrusion and was ripped off... After his fellow workers had picked him up and taken him to the hospital, another worker found Paddy's ear lying on the floor so he took it to the hospital with the hope that they could sew it back on again. When paddy heard the news and saw the ear, he said "That's not mine, mine had a pencil behind it..."
Sorry folks, couldn't resist it... (translated from a Turkish joke featuring 'Temel', the "equivalent" of Paddy...)
I've always found that one funny :-)
Mary
My sympathies. You must be really bored ;)

My mind wandered for a brief instant there.....okay, back on safe territory ;)

Thanks Mike and Mary... I even went and looked up the word "comb" in a dictionary to ensure that I had spelled it correct!

(Hey, "Mary", "Mungo" and "Mike" ... almost a cartoon idea there! :-)
Spotlights are already available - a glassless frame, with a forward pointing light at each side and a small battery in each arm. They can be worn with spectacles, which, as you no longer need to hold a small Maglite in them, leaves your teeth free to hold the pencil. However, as you are probably working at night, one of the pens with a built-in LED around the tip might be more useful.

Oh - do tell!

I've got the hat ...

But I've been drinking.....
.....thoughts were about whether the ink leakage stained the underlying skin.

Many moons ago when we are all young, poor and smoked it was quite common to 'Nick' a cigarette to keep for later.
A friend did just this, dropped the nicked cigarette into the breast pocket of his jacket , and 15 mins later discovered he hadn't nicked it completely. It had burnt a hole right through the jacket pocket and amazingly had also burnt his shirt before he noticed what was going on.

Oh! Is that all?
I can't remember. I don't think it went on my vest :-)
Mary
We called it 'nipping'.
The north/south divide perhaps???
Mary
One was a free Ikea one, and the other was actually a pen :)
I had the tape measure in my hand as it happens :)
On another note, I was bust putting up a CCTV camera at said mates house the other day - I ended up with a 8mm masonry drill bit behind one ear at one point!
Sparks...
Is the size important?
Mary
Well, an 8mm masonry bit is quite heavy (compaired to a pencil!) - I was suprised it stayed there!

You wouldn't forget it, that's true.
Mary
Mary, you should know by now that size isn't important..... :-)

To email, substitute .nospam with .gl
But the size (8mm) was mentioned and I wondered why. It's been explained adequately now - it's more a matter of mass apparently.
