 Comic﹕Pat's new hairstyle

【明報專訊】Pat has recently had her hair set for a party. She likes her new hairstyle so much that she hasn't had a shampoo for a week...

“ Eason: Hello Pat, your new hairstyle looks great! ”

“ Pat: Oh, thank you Eason. I do like it very much. ”

“ Bill: Pat, when did you shampoo you hair last? ”

“ Pat: Last week in a salon. ”

“ MoMo: Bill, do you know when Pat shampooed her hair last? ”

“ Bill: She told me she had it washed last week. ”

“ Dr Panda: I know you like this hairstyle, but it is very unhygienic to keep it for such a long time! ”

“ Pat: Sorry... I actually began to feel itchy a few days ago. ”
