Ellis Zsoldos is ....

Bond Villain?

No, I'm not a villain in an upcoming James Bond movie.  However the story of the Pink Comb is just as far fetched.  If you are interested, continue reading:

The pink comb

This is my infamous pink comb.  Everyone kind of gets characterized by something in their life.  For me, it's this darn pink comb.  

The Story

Sometime in 1991 I was on my way to work when I realized that I had "lost" my comb again.  This was becoming a weekly occurrence.  I was becoming annoyed.  It was as if there was a conspiracy to strip me of combs and make me go through life with messed up hair.  

That day I went to the K-Mart on Rt. 17 in Paramus, NJ.  My mission was to obtain a comb to fix my hair and spend less than the $2.00 which I had in my pocket.  (And not get killed by SPECTRE in the process... <GRIN> )

The mission was a success!   I found this bag of combs in all sorts of assorted colors for 99 cents!  So I purchased it from Felix (of the CIA) ... who was now undercover as a K-Mart clerk.  

Over the next few months all of my combs disappeared except for this ugly pink one.   This was an obvious clue that this comb was a new gadget from the Q-division.

Over the years  this pink comb "disappeared" two or three times under mysterious circumstances.  The longest was back in 1996 where it disappeared for eight months only to turn up again under my car seat.  (Along with an equally ugly purple one!)  After checking it for listening devices I put the pink comb back into use.  I have been unable to lose this comb since that time.

Some of my friends and family at work and at home have come to know me by the fact that I carry this pink comb. 

This wouldn't have been my first choice of an image to project, but it is unique and there could be worse things in life. <GRIN>
