I’m always losing combs so I always carry two or three in my back pocket. But I don’t like the hard, inflexible kind that cost $2 or $3 bills each in pharmacies. I like the cheap, flexible, soft-plastic kind they sell in liquor stores for 90 cents or whatever. I like the teeth of a comb to have a little “give.” Two days ago I hit paydirt when I visited Terner’s liquor store on the Strip (i.e., right next to the Viper Room). For a lousy $2 dollars and change they were selling a whole plastic bag’s worth of cheap combs. I’m now carrying ten flexible combs in my rear pockets — five black, two lime-green and three violet. I’m thinking of buying another bag of these guys so I can replace the current ten, all of which I’ll lose sooner or later.
