   If it’s permissible to tout a product here, I’d tout this one. My husband and I both have long hair, and it has made keeping our shower drains clean so easy.

   Reminds me of a story on This American Life, where an 81 year old man was crazy about the hold music when he called various providers in his healthcare system. He spent a long time trying to learn more about it. Turned out it was the default hold music on Cisco phone systems, and he and a librarian were eventually able to find the composer.
