Splitting Hairs On The Subject

(I am over at my friend’s place helping to clean up because they have just had a lice outbreak.)

Friend: “Thanks for coming over and helping. And sorry about the potential exposure to lice.”

Me: “It’s fine. I’ve got really bad dandruff, so they don’t like me. They can’t get to my scalp.”

Friend: “Really?”

Me: “Yep. They’d have to go mining or get little bug dynamite.”

Friend: “That makes sense.” *laughs* “Now I’m imagining you with little sparks of light and puffs of smoke from where they are, um…” *he waves his hand vaguely for emphasis*

Me: “Fracking my scalp?”
