True. Black guys shave their heads and they look good. White guys are one of two things; either “Hewwo, My name is Ewmer J. Fudd,” or “How long have you been in chemo?”
I got hair like my mother’s mother, thick and unruly. I’m glad I didn’t get my mother’s father’s hair, or lack there of; he was basically tonsured by age 40. What I got from my dad, is a thin spot towards the back of my head.
Shaving one’s head to hide baldness is a reverse combover.
Sean Connery played an Irishman named Mulligan in “The Longest Day.” He landed on the same beach as Lord Lovat and his commandos, and their piper, Bill Millin. As Lovat ordered the commandos off the beach, he had Millin play them off. Mulligan’s mate complained about the noise, while Mulligan replied, “Yeah, it takes an Irishman to play the pipes.” This from a man who had “Scotland Forever” tattooed on his arm.
When I last saw Paul McCartney in Toronto, we knew the set list; but one of my friends really wanted to hear “Mull of Kintyre.” I kept telling him it wasn’t on the list; but during one encore, Macca brought out the Toronto PD Pipers and did the song.
A war over toppings or who gets the last slice, sure.
