wash it in hot water first to soften them up.  then use steel wool to brush them off.

They do sale a rock that you can rub over the hitch hiker... I have one and it works great.. Now this works great for burrs.  However if you get those two prong lice they are more difficult to pull out.  The rock will take off the ones that are not embedded real deep. You might have to come back and pull a few out with the tweezers.

I just read vegtable oil might lossen them up and then you comb them out. Then you have to wash the clothing after that of course..

Use one of those stones they sell for cleaning your grill grate off. A buddy of mine swears by it.
