Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for March 15, 2024

Anybody got any duct tape ?

I’d say a safety pin, but duct tape’s good too.

She names her pins?

No baling wire or gum?

I’m in trouble, I haven’t owned a Bobby pin in years.

But Bobby wants that pin back.

That’s a hairy situation right there, Aunty.

until she got to know them she went by their formal name, Robert Pins

Isn’t it always like this?

Must have been a large one!!!!!!

The bobby pin was invented by Luis Marcus, a San Francisco -based cosmetics manufacturer, after World War I and came into wide use as the hairstyle known as the " bob cut " or “bobbed hair” took hold. Few were sold after mid 1960’s. If fact, a few are still sold. The old ones are collectors items.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockleshells, and one dam tulip!

Sorry, somehow I was reminded of this twisted rhyme.

I hold things together without hair pins.

I just use a band-aid.

Happy Ides of March!
