    I didn’t know you could patent hairstyles?? Is that even enforceable?

    US patents seem to follow the thought of "of course you can patent it, just follow procedure, and pay fees on time". The patent office is regularly shown lacking the most basic due diligence.

    Behold this absolute horseshit of refiling an expired patent, with a (wrong) reference of the expired patent in the application. It was granted.

    Wrong patents can be invalidated later, but the patent system is expensive, so many egregiously wrong patents stay in effect just because nobody is willing to burn hundreds of thousands in court to invalidate a bullshit patent on principle alone.

    I bought my comb-over from a guy selling DVDs in CD-sized cases down a merchant alley in [redacted].

    I don't have any real knowledge, but I think it's more about marketing it as your idea, as in being a barber/hairdresser and advertising this.

    No, his is sexually and physically assaulting a partner after a bad hair transplant.

    Trump didn’t have a hair transplant, it was a scalp reduction surgery. Basically, they cut out the bald parts and pull and stitch the hair parts together.

    The part about it being botched and, in a fit of rage, him violently raping his wife, was true. It was in her book.

    Which wife? Would love to read it.

    It was Ivana, but I’m slightly mistaken. It was not in her book, it was in her divorce deposition, which was reported in the book “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump” by Harry Hurt III.

    Thanks for sharing your story. No shame in having a good laugh about absurdity.
