Koohii stories:

1) [matticus] 12-2-2006(248): Have you ever seen those shots in movies where the hero is standing at the edge of a sheer mountain face, hair blowing in the wind? It probably wouldn't seem so heroic if you saw him ten minutes earlier, when a crew of stylists was carefully combing his hair so it would fall perfectly.

2) [eltjopoort] 12-7-2008(112): When you stand a comb on its edge, it looks like the mountain (#768 山) kanji.

3) [inuki] 25-9-2006(68): Jimi Hendrix: Well I stand up next to a mountain, chop it down with the edge of my ……… comb?

4) [desmidus] 2-3-2008(37): Standing on the edge of a mountain, you throw your comb into the abyss. Head shaved, no need for it anymore. Goodbye comb, goodbye. You're on the edge yourself, you look below. The abyss beckons. You watch the comb fall…

5) [esaulgd] 17-9-2007(16): He valianty stood at the mountain's edge… and proceed to comb his hair for the photographs.
