HAIR

I've noticed lately that my hair is thinning--fast.  I suppose if I live ling enough, I'll be bald.   It wouldn't bother me except that I have a kind of pointy head.  Most bald guys have nice, round heads and they look good, well, maybe not "good", but OK.

When I was shaving this morning, it occurred to me that no one ever goes "face bald".  Now that's something most guys (and gals) would love to have.  Then I wondered, "If no one goes face bald, where did the expression 'bald faced lie'  come from?"  I guess it means something like a lie not disguised with a beard.  All the hair restoration products explain that a certain hormone causes hair loss. Then why doesn't that hormone cause your face, underarm, nose, ear and "where the sun don't shine" to go bald too? I know there are medical reasons why people lose hair but that doesn't count.

Life is complicated enough as it is without having to shave every day.  I think the Amish have it right.  Think of all the time and money we could save if we all stopped shaving.  Well, it won't be long, I guess, before I'll be shaving my head too or not shaving at all.
