[78-L] Dept of meaningless lyrics?

[Ron L'Herault]

I believe a fine tooth comb is used for getting rid of nits (lice eggs).
The nits are small so you need a comb with closely spaced teeth.

"leave you with nothing but a fine tooth comb"?
("Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?").

Perhaps the tooth in the comb is just short of being mint and is thus 
"fine." Must have been a large tooth, perhaps a T-Rex tooth. The song 
doesn't say what the comb was made of, perhaps marzipan.
