death of a combover
my dad used to be one of those rather tragic blokes who would deny the fact that they were going very bald. his hair was like a nest, with his baldy "egg" bit poking through.
like many other such tragic men, dad tried to hide his baldness with a combover. it looked about as ridiculous as you'd imagine, but it gave him some measure of confidence, so we let him be.
one night, me, my mum and my dad were at a party for one of dad's friends. i could handle my booze back then and me and dad were fine. mum, on the other hand, was more than a bit tipsy. after staring at dad's head for about ten minutes, she slid her fingernail under his combover and flicked it back over to the other side of his head.
mum and i sat there, howling with laughter, as my dad shook his head wearily at us, his straggly combover now drooped over his right ear.
he now favours the "Hannibal Lecter" style of hairdo.

My hairline did a kamikaze thing a couple of years ago.
I decided to go the Bruce Willis direction, and I've never looked sexier.

Followed it up recently with the same treatment for the Gentleman's Area. Never looked sexier. Highly recommended (although, in all seriousness, watch out for the razor burn.)

fortunately, us women don't usually go bald
