Perhaps he could borrow Condi's afro-pick.

Why oh why is there no photo with this entry?

Because there's nothing wrong with his hair.

it's not the heat, it's the humidity.

Amy Kate, it's his "beard" he needs to comb! ;-)

It is funny that he never frets about the state of his office.

Condi doesn't own an afro-comb. Just look at her hair.
The girl uses a hot comb and an iron. And probably a relaxer. Know your black hair products!

Charles is incorrect in his assumption that only African-Americans or others who wear versions of a 'fro are users of the Pick. When my hair was long, a pick was the only type of comb I could use, because it was the only type that'd get through my hair, although my hair is not even remotely frizzy or even curly; it's just thick. I still have one in my bag, even though my hair is short now.

So Charles, if I were at your office, you could have borrowed one from this red-headed, white-skinned, Irish girl.

Good point, my father, of German/Welsh extraction has to use similar combs. It's why my hair isn't as straight as it looks.

I find this story hard to believe. Charles' hair always looks like he was dragged out of an african village on his extra nappy head. On many occasions I have asked him to cut or comb it and his stock response is always " I want to look like a crazy person." I have known the man for over 30 yrs and I've never seen him comb his hair. Stop lying about that intraoffice email. It's simply not true.

Genevieve -- I was referring back to an older Slog post with a pic of Condi standing in front of a Hungarian flag, with a pick superimposed on it . . . it was an in-joke, not based on reality.

tim, you big racist, it's JERI curl.

i believe a "jerry curl" is found only on germans.

Joseline, don't accuse me of lying; your brother did send this mail to all of editorial. His true intention in doing so is a mystery.
