Haircut (ok, I know it's not strictly an object...)
2005
My husband suffers from the following character features:
Now, (1) clearly invites regular visits to the hairdresser that are odds with (2). Additionally, the hair in (1) is not only fast-growing, but also so totally undisciplined that the outcome of (2) has sometimes been less than impressive.
Armed with a trusty set of Philips electric clippers, a small pair of scissors and some Agent Orange, I have taken to subduing said hair on a regular basis.
The first time you try cutting somebody's hair is hugely nerve-wracking (even when you know that particular person is likely to grow it all back by next Wednesday), but after a bit of practice it's quite fun.
