Comb Criminal Caught

In Ohio,

A girl was suspended from a Dayton school after she brought a double fish tail comb to school. School officials called it a dangerous weapon, and even though it's not listed as a banned item in the code of conduct book, officials are upholding their decision. [...] She was suspended from Wilbur Wright Middle School for five days. 

For a comb.

Did you take a look at a "double fish tail comb"? It could totatlly be a shank.

Not being a hipster to the comb jargon, I googled "Double Fish Tail Comb" and found this. http://www.texasbeautysupplies.com/fistaildoubp.html

Look at that picture! Now imagine if School Officials allowed such devices into our hallowed halls of learning! Why she could poke someones eye out! Thank God we are not letting the terrorist win.

Here is the other type of comb mentioned, the Rat-tail comb:

It resembles a traditional "tall ships" sailor's tool, the marlinspike.

The marlinspike is used to force knots open. You stab the marlinspike into the center of the knot, and work it back and forth to loosen up the ropes. The marlinspike is also used to pick the strands of ropes apart for splicing. However, it is also traditional for sailors to fight with their marlinspikes, using them as improvived switchblades. I would guess that the rat-tail and double fish-tail combs are probably used as last resort tools to disentangle knotted hair.
