Untitled and for Good Reason

Hey I'm new to this and it probably shows. If you like what you read then that's great, if not that's just fine too. Maybe one day I'll figure out what I'm really doing on here anyways.

So I asked my wife to get me a comb a while ago, "a comb" as in a singular comb. This is the Econo pack of combs I arrived home to. Well at least she gave 110% 😑
