According to dh, going through this process in cubicle-ville is why he hasn't yet booked the vasectomy that he had the pre-surgical check up for, over 2 years ago. I'm dubious. However, he is more committed to the "no more spawn" partly line than I am.

Is there anyway to get rid of the fuzzy balls on a fuzzy sweater without a sweater shaver?

I'm happily stuck in the glam rock era of glitter, when glam was glam and men were space aliens and going down on your guitarist on stage really meant something!
