Yes.

What's a houndstooth?

Houndstooth is the pattern on the material used to make that hat. Sherlock Holme's hat was actually tweed, which often has the houndstooth pattern. The early Sherlock Holmes movies had him in that hat

After reading this, I thought to myself "How would I explain this at work if (when?) it happens to me?" Times like this, I'm glad to be female - "I did it with the curling iron"

I would be embarrassed to use that one.

Bill, I have seen your head and hair; not sure anyone would believe you could even use a curling iron.
