patented inventions in Scotland - it's a comb
A comb

The country that gave the world the internal combustion engine proudly presents ................ a comb.

FirstFoot searched furiously for the stunning, revolutionary, world-improving secrets of this comb. Was it going to contain a miniature thermo-nuclear reactor, did it cure Aids, was the world going to be a better place?

No.

patented inventions in Scotland - it's another comb
Another comb

The loonies from Stonehaven and Aberdeen who patented this rather bizarre "invention" had no surprises up their sleeves .... it was just a comb.

So, when FirstFoot saw that they had patented another comb, we thought "this time it's surely the big one, the comb that changed the world."

But no, it was still just a comb.

But wait. A late entrant on the scene. A well known Edinburgh hairdresser (whose name rhymes with bum) has also registered a patent for a comb (bet you can't wait).

Another fucking comb

But, perhaps unsurprisingly, it is just another comb.

By this time FirstFoot had begun to suspect that there might be something about combs that we didn't understand.

We plundered the FirstFoot corporate research budget and hired the best available people for the money.

Unfortunately, although they did come cheap, Scots Tories Ian Duncan Smith and Brian "Bankrupt" Montieth, are both folically as well as idealogically challenged and their report was unilluminating:

"Combs can be useful for people with hair."
