The subway's a great way to get things done, whether its clipping your nails, licking your shoes, or eating noodles. So why not use that precious time to have your lady friend give you a buzz cut? After all, if you wait until you reach your destination, there's just going to be more hair to shave. You don't want to wind up looking like some dirty hippie when you get off the train at Jamaica Center, so nip that new growth in the bud and break out the hair trimmers, like this productive couple!
Unfortunately, the video cuts out before she gives him a full Brazilian wax, trims his nostril hair, and flosses his teeth. But if you're squeamish about any of this, maybe you should just be glad he didn't have a head of hair like these grunts (at least not that we can tell by the video):
