magic lint brush

now, i know i'm not always the sharpest crayon in the box, but i like to think that i'm not a complete fool, either.

why, then, is it so difficult for me to figure out the secret of the magic lint brush????

for the first few swipes, we get along wonderfully-- it happily removes the lint from my corduroys, "like magic." somewhere near the fifth swipe, though, things somehow go awry and i'm left with lint residues, far worse than the original lint situation, in one area, often in the red color of the brush itself. what does this mean? why does this happen? who is to blame?

and how the hell am i supposed to clean the brush?!


your insights, fair readers, would be much appreciated, and are, quite simply, necessary.
