Sometimes, you gotta wonder.
Loraine had to break open a new curling
iron over the weekend and I, for some reason, felt possessed to read
the instruction guide that went with it. It’s like many different
instruction guides, telling you how to operate the curling iron, and
how to use it best to style your hair (although I’m thinking that
if you bought a curling iron, you already know how to style your
hair, right?) The instruction guide, like many instruction guides,
also tells you what you should and should not do with your curling
iron. And that’s where it got weird.
In the instruction guide was a list of
things you should never do with your curling iron. It’s was number
nine that caught my attention, a rule that said, and I quote, “Never
use your curling iron while sleeping”.
Now, I don’t know about you, but I
wasn’t aware that using a curling iron while sleeping was a
problem. Admittedly, I’ve never used a curling iron, so I checked
with Loraine and a half-dozen female friends, and all seven of them
say they've never used a curling iron while sleeping. Four of them
wondered exactly how you COULD use a curling iron while sleeping,
while the other three looked at me like I was insane just for
wondering.
Well, I was curious!!
I’m almost afraid to ask the reason
why the people who wrote the instruction guide had to include the
instructions “Never use while sleeping”, but I’m guessing that
there probably WAS an incident once where someone tried to use the
curling iron while sleeping (although how, I have no idea), injured
themselves, and ended up having their lawyers contact the lawyers for
the curling iron company.
You can probably guess what happened
after that.
So now you know. When you’re working
on your hair tomorrow, make sure that you don't do it while sleeping.
Apparently, it’s hazardous, it’s a huge problem, and it can
cause danger and/or bodily harm to you. And we wouldn’t want THAT
to happen, right?
Geez.
