I don’t know how the topic of hair loss came up that day,
but it did. Why did Daddy lose his hair? He was born with hair. He had hair
through his boyhood. Even through his twenties. But then the hair began to
bail. Why? Why do perfectly happy heads suddenly abandon their hair? It is
usually not a conscious decision unless the man is a buff, ripply, weight
lifter and he just doesn’t want to be bothered with hair. Then he shaves his
head to either appear intimidating or because he doesn’t want to be bothered
with using a comb. When you’re always lifting weights that means you’re always
wearing gym shorts. Where do you put the comb? It’s very problematic. There’s
only one or two places. And we don’t want to discuss that right now.
I have a theory that I think logically explains the
process of involuntary hair loss. Science teaches us that the DNA within each
individual human being is the key to understanding their inherited physical
characteristics. As we all know, we are born with a predetermined number of
hairspools located in our skulls. The color in the top-most spools contain what
we call our original hair color.
Hairspool distribution centers have DNA databases that they use to ration the
supply of hairspools and hair color. Therefore, each person is given a certain
number of hairspools which are dyed to a color correspondent with their DNA.
After they’re installed, each person gets additional undyed hairspools that are
usually plain white or gray in color. That’s why when the colored hair runs out
after fifty or so years, the hairspool mechanism reverts to using the remaining
white or gray spools.
Hairspool processing laboratories depend on federal
funding, as we all know. Therefore hairspool installation facilities often have
limited supplies. Since women seem to be more perturbed than men by hair loss,
these agencies follow legislation that defers hairspool supplies in greater
numbers to baby women than baby men. Thus, after an unknown number of years,
the male hairspools simply run out of hair.
Empty spools in male heads then begin to knock together
causing mild disorders in male brains. The subtle yet continuous impact of the
knocking spools creates escalating irritation that causes some males to exhibit
more aggressive behavior than others. This may happen because of spool size.
Some men assume that their spool sizes are bigger than other men’s. This belief
causes many altercations that result in points on their driver’s licenses and
occasionally, in prison time.
Also, headaches caused by empty spools in the brain are
very hard to treat. Some men, in desperation for relief, smash cool
beer cans against their foreheads.
It’s possible that men who would like to have new
hairspools installed later in life can visit their physicians who must obtain
spool samples from them, to determine if this is possible. New hair spools can
sometimes be installed in mild-mannered men, but in more aggressive cases, the
constant rattling of brain spools causes irreversible damage. In this case,
surgical sponges can be purposely left in the brain to supply cushioning
between the spools. This will not heal the aggressive tendencies in affected
males but will help with headache discomfort. It will also slow down the
already crawl-paced thinking processes to help aggressive thoughts become less
intense and less frequent.
Research scientists at the Mayo Clinic are currently
working with volunteer prisoners held by Al-Qaeda and Pentagon operatives to determine
whether surgical brain sponges can be used as a new tool for establishing world
peace. Researchers hope that eventually, proof of the link between hair loss
and world peace may be established, and that remedies to solve both problems will
result in more “good hair days” and peace on earth, good will to men (and
women!), and more liberty and hairspools for all. You can write to your senator
or congressman to appeal for more federal funding for hairspool distribution
centers. You will be able to see the proof of your tax dollars at work! Stay
tuned for more on this story.
