I’ll admit it: I had to read this note and the accompanying explanation about three times before I grasped that “hair baby” was supposed to refer to the leftover strands that someone in Tricia’s dorm keeps leaving in the shower drain.
![Dear Mother of Hair Baby, Please take care of your disgusting little child, I'm tired of seeing it. I don't care if you love it with all your heat, I don't want to see it. If you care for it so much take the little varment [sic] to your room & care for it there. Your Truly, Disgusted](http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5242/5325794487_98b30a8be8.jpg "Dear Mother of Hair Baby, Please take care of your disgusting little child, I'm tired of seeing it.

But speaking of babies…as Massimo noticed, this Boston-area Walgreens is apparently hoping to capitalize on your drunken New Years/Valentine’s Day sexual escapades. (Or else they’re just really, really curious?????)

LOL. I LOVE it! Hair Babies! Awesome. I love the cleverness of that note. I’m still laughing. I hope I never have to write a note like this (nor read one for me, either) . . . but if I do…

I had a college housemate who happened to have very dark, thick hair – head, arm, leg, and I don’t care to assume elsewhere (rocket pubes, anyone?). We other housemates learned several things about her:
1) apparently she only shaved her legs once a month or so (no judgment here; you’ll see why it’s significant);
2) when she did, she used hair conditioner to get the job done;
3) no matter how firmly we demanded, she ALWAYS “forgot” to wash out the tub afterward; and
4) this always happened before her leaving town for X number of days, so we couldn’t even leave it there for her to clean when she returned (lest we go X number of days without showering).
Hair baby: not the worst thing you could clean out of a tub.

I always rescue my hair baby out of the drain, and sometimes I bring it to my husband and present it as “a lock of my hair.” I find this funnier than he does.

Hair baby writer should just be grateful that the drain hair in that dorm has not yet developed the aerospace technology to become rocket pubes.

Hairballs are great and magical things.
Of course, they need money to talk…just read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn!

Walgreens has figured out the marketplace. Condoms are cheaper than pregnancy tests, so it’s a good bet they didn’t push condom sales prior to the expected New Year’s or Valentine’s Day holiday, um…festivities.
Antibiotics sales are up as well!!

All the Walgreen’s sign needs is one of those “As Seen on TV” logos above it.

“No, thirteen. Gotta be thirteen, we don’t want any ambiguity.”

I’m picturing one of the “Teen Moms” cradling her hair baby in her arms, tears streaming down her face, mumbling… “If only I’d known 5 days sooner” as she gazes at that display.

I’m thinking this is a low end big box (ALCO or K-Mart low). Notice the pleather jackets to the right.

I love that the stickers on the pregnancy tests say “flu shot also available”. Throwing up in the morning? Could be pregnancy, could be flu. Go to Walgreens for both!

Who uses “varmint” (and then mispells it)? As soon as I came to that word I had to re-read the whole thing in my Foghorn J. Leghorn voice. Try it; the note becomes even funnier.

So, the second note … is that from some gas station or something?

Sorry, I am just REALLY enjoying watching FeRD grow increasingly agitated and am hoping to cause a full on, Serene Branson style, brain malfunction.

I hate the hair in the shower drain!! Sometimes I wonder if Chewbacca isn’t taking a shower with me.

Am I the only one kind of disappointed that the link in “leftover strands” didn’t link to Rocket Pubes?

I misread this as “hairy baby” not “hair baby” and I was like, that’s not passive-aggressive, that’s just rude!
(I.E. no one wants to see your child, it has hair on it’s head)
Now that I get it, it’s hilarious.

I feel I did something like this in college. It’s bad enough in Los Angeles dealing with the heat, but with moldy hair children growing from drains, it’s just insult to injury. What happened the age of common decency?
