Whilst I wait for the tumbleweed to pass,
I don't have a ginger anecdote, lets try for baldness instead.

Up in 'big smoke' in the back of a taxi with my sister, bored, she decides to play a game. Seeing a bald guy on the street she blurts out loudly,
"Let's see how many baldies we can see!"
I remember something... turn slowly around, (I was on the fold down seat) to gesture at the driver, who, with the partition open, was looking rather shiftily in the rear view mirror at us. Completely bald.



Well, what did you expect. I had to dig deep even for that one.
Try the veal. I won't be here all week.

Walking down Somers Town recently
Someone shouts out "Oiii!!! Baaaalllldddyyy!!!" at me (I shave my head n always have since it was pointed out in my early twenties I have girly curly hair).

I stopped, turned, noticed it was a load of teenagers doing the 'hanging out on a street corner acting hard thing, and I shouted back: "I'VE GOT CANCER !!!"

Ok, probably going to hell for that one... but it did shut the fuckers up.

I'm surprised it worked
most cunts nowadays don't seem to have the guilt gene

It only would have worked,
if you'd told them it was contagious.

I was a bit pissed off at the time after being shat on from a great height in work (not literally)
So I probably came across as a bit of a frothing-at-the-mouth mentalist.

That probably had more to do with it.

HA! Now the truth comes out

I too am blessed/cursed with "the wave"
When it's been really long, it looks exactly like a spiral perm (or so I've been told) and many times being mistaken for a laydee (head down on work counter!) finally turned to dreads. Had to get rid of them though eventually.

I keep it short, but have a funny shaped head, so couldn't get away with the full monty.
