これはよくシンガポールにいる日本人の間で話題になることです。
「どうしてシンガポールのおじ様はみんなくしをズボンのポケットにいれて、町の真ん中で突然使いだすのか？そして、ほぼ間違いなく色はオレンジ色。」
不思議です。
いつも身だしなみを気にしているといえなくもないけど、日本ではまずあり得ない光景。
なぜオレンジ色？黒や白のくしではだめなんでしょうか？
This is a topic often discussed by the Japanese living in Singapore.
[Why do the uncles and some others put combs into their trouser pockets, then whip it out in the middle of nowhere and start using it? And then, most of the time, the colour is a bright orange.]
It's a mystery.
Such an extent to which they are so concerned about their personal appearance, it would seem like a bemusing spectacle in Japan.
But why the colour orange? Does black or white not work?

Students,

They usually had those combs (the handle is pointed at the end) and put in their back pocket. I think some of them think its cool to put the comb at the back pocket (especially the teenagers). As for why the colour is orange, I think it is because its the type of comb that can be bought easily, and they are the ones which comes with a pointed handle. :)
