NOW FOR THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE STAFF MEETING: THE WALLY REPORT.

YESTERDAY I WAS GETTING MY HAIR STYLED AS USUAL.

BUT THIS TIME I FORGOT TO REMOVE MY GLASSES, AND WHAT I SAW WAS DISTURBING.

MY STYLIST WAS USING A NOSE- HAIR TRIMMER TO CUT MY HAIR!

I PROTESTED, BUT SHE SAID SHE'S BEEN DOING MY HAIR THAT WAY FOR YEARS.

SHE SAID IT JUST "SEEMED RIGHT." TEMPERS FLARED.

I THREW SOME HAIR GEL. A SALON BRAWL BROKE OUT!

DON'T WE USE THE SAME STYLIST?

THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY SHE HAS A PLUNGER.
