A salesman is at a barber convention demonstrating an unbreakable comb by
putting it through all sorts of stress.
As his piece de resistance, he bends the comb in half.
Crack! It unexplainedly snaps.
Unfazed, he holds up both halves for all to see, saying,
"And this is what an unbreakable comb looks like on the inside!"

If you were looking to set a record for the most matchsticks stuck up your
nose, things have gotten more difficult.
That's because last February, a Danish man found room in his nostrils for
68 (unlit!) matches.
"Surprisingly, it didn't hurt," Peter von Tangen Buskov said, according to
Guinness World Records.
Canadian Lulu Lotus recently set a new Guinness record for the loudest nose

to see that she weighed 144 pounds.
"Why don't you just take off that last four?" the woman joked to the nurse's
