The class you couldn't take at the University of Wisconsin

Four.

That's how many hair dryers I've been through this year alone. Any chance I had of Santa bringing me cool gadgetry gifts for Christmas was pretty much shot when smoke started billowing out the back end of my hair dryer on Friday. Don't even begin to ask how someone manages to bust up 4 hair dryers in one year with increasing levels of dramatic flair. Because the better question is how I still managed to dry my hair on Friday with a hair dryer on the verge of bursting in to flames. That, my friends, is why I went to college. So I could be resourceful in the event of a hair-drying-mergency. I might never again use all that Macro-Economics bullshit I learned, but at least I can dry my hair in a pinch *and* make a pipe from naught but a little tinfoil (no really, I CAN!).

I must make my parents so proud.

well, i think if anything, macroeconomics has taught us that the law of disminishing returns applies even to hair dryers...however, how it applies to MULTIPLE hair dryers in year baffles even my mind.....four? really? sheesh....

We'll start calling you MacGyver-ette. Richard Dean Anderson has got some competition.

I've had my one blowdryer for 10 years it just went out on my last year...and I used the hell out of it so bad I used duct tape to hold it together.
