A recipe for ...

 

I often like to impart good advice on this Blog as part of the service I provide for my readers. This one will hopefully be of particular interest to my male readers.

First let me tell you how to prepare the tour-de-force which is central to my advice.

Take two of three cloves of garlic and mash them into a paste with a few drops of virgin olive oil. Add half-a-spoon of ground cinnamon and continue mixing until you have a smooth paste of consistent quality. No lumps ...

Now rub the paste gently on your bald head and keep it there for at least two hours.

This is guaranteed to make your hair grow again. Or so I'm told.

It will also repel mosquitoes and other annoying insects. But best of all, I am told, it will make you attractive to ladies. You will be a sex symbol for the woman who doesn't care!

Now I have had no reason to try this cure to baldness myself since I am already attractive and handsome. Anyway, personally I think some men are indeed very attractive without hair. Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek for instance. Bruce Willis, Telly Savalas and many others.

Why, for a period, I had no hair myself. Let me tell you about it.

I went to the barber for a haircut and he asked me, "How would you like your hair cut?"

I was in a hurry to leave, so I looked at the barber and said, "cut my hair like yours!"

He took his electric machine and cut my hair totally off ... totally bald I was ... I protested and asked him what he was doing. This looked nothing like his haircut. He replied, "Yes it is ... but my hair has grown since I last cut it!"

A few weeks later my hair grew back and needed cutting again. This time I went to another hairdresser. I told him I wanted my hair cut just like Tony Curtis. He nodded, took out his electric machine and cut my hair totally off. I was bald once again.

 

I was totally furious. More furious than at the previous hairdresser. "I am totally bald," I said pointing at the obvious, "do you even know who Tony Curtis is?"

 

"Sure," he said, "I have seen him in 'The King And I' at least five times!"

 

Thankfully, a few weeks later my hair grew back again and needed cutting. Cautiously, I went to yet another hairdresser. We have plenty of them in our town.

 

This time I took no chances. I took with me a photo of Clark Gable from the film 'Gone With The Wind'. I asked the barber for a haircut like him.

 

The barber took out his electric machine and shaved my hair totally bald. Now I was really mad and furious. More than ever before. I shouted at the man.

 

"Look at the photo," I screamed, "Clark Gable is not totally bald!"

 

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "he would be if he came here for a haircut!"
