This subject is seemingly a touchy one for many. As most of my friends from Djan-uhumm to Anupam Kher face it, I couldnt think of a more apt post.
Ok, first of all, Hairfall is not for your grandpa any more. If you roam around a lot and you are observant enough (yeah people gone deaf with their Ipods on the street, Im talking to you), you'll see that a lot of men in their 20s and in some cases women, have not only a receeding hairline or a tonsure but a slick solar mirror on their head. Whom should you blame it on ? According to a recent research by Dr. Herschbinger, hairfall is a lifestyle disorder. He said " Achen Hairfallen uhn Hitlerishnan und fasten Audi". Renowned barberologist, Dr. Khurana, Sector 409, Noida in his technical paper has simply put it as, "Arey yeh firangi kuch bhi bolte hai, asal mein bahut zyada MOGAMBO KHUSH HUA bolne par baal jhadte hai".
But among the many reasons can be the use of chemicals like Ammonium Laurly Sulphate introduced for self-grooming since 1883 by Dmitri Mendelev in his smash hit TV show THE PERIODIC TABLE of ELEMENTS and continues till now in another smash hit show by LL Cool J feat Dr.Dre's YO MOMMA ("Yo momma is so bald that she took a shower and got brain-washed).
But the question is, is hairfall or bald even funny ?
I remember as a kid watching TV variety shows and there was the occasional guy with the toupee caught in a windstorm whose hair would rise and fall like an airplane flap. And then the toupee would fall and it would be revealed that he had a wig on. That was kind of funny because you weren’t expecting it.
Then I started to wonder. Maybe bald jokes have a humor rating based on age rather than actual real comedic value. Maybe they are funny starting at age ten or so, and then have a shelf life that peters out right around college graduation. By then there are enough people we know and love who are losing their hair or going bald and we just pass it off as an “oh, well.” Then it maybe picks up around the 10-year high school reunion because it is funny that the soccer captain, Mr. He-Who-Had-Everything-In-College 's head who always had the best looking girls is now bald as a billiard cue. It just makes the rest of us who never suited up feel better that we finally have something he no longer does. So yeah, Baldiness is funny..
Now the math behind balding....
Advanced vector calculus proves that it is impossible to comb all hairs on a male human head in the same general direction, even with the application of copious quantities of superhold styling gel. As a result, there exists (at least) one point on every male human head of which the hair growing from out of all surrounding points spirals outwards. This particular point (technically termed a "bald spot" in advanced barberology) lacks hair, because the sun shines there without mercy, like in a lifeless desert. Therefore, all men possess (at least) one bald spot, especially Socrates.
Had you SEEN the American Election debates in 08-09 ? "Joe the Plumber"? Bald people are huuuuuuge!
The Balding Theorom was introduced by none other than the great scientist Mr. Homer Simpson. As of April 2006, Homer Simpson possesses three (and only three) hairs on his head. Also, Homer is bald (by definition).
So,
Let M3=Homer. If a man M(n+1) has one hair more than a man M(n) that is bald, then M(n+1) is also bald. Therefore, by induction through the infinitely many finite ordinals, all men with either the same amount of, or more hair than Homer (n>=3) are bald.
Unfortunately, this stunning and counterintuitive proof leaves a small number of cases left to consider, namely M(0),M(1) ,M(2) ,M(3) and M(infinity) . Since all men with hair have a bald spot (see above), it follows that a man with no hair has no bald spot. As a result, since M(0) has no hair, he himself also lacks a bald spot. Thus, M(0) is not bald. By induction through the finite ordinals less than 3, both M(1) and M(2) are also not bald, in spite of the fact that their comb-overs are totally lame and we laugh derisively at them.
However, we dare not laugh at M(infinity)'s comb over, because M(infinity) is God Almighty Himself, the Infinitely Hairy One who wouldst smite us for acting so wickedly.
So how can you keep Hairloss at bay ? Follow the following followable steps....
1.Keep your hair happy. A happy hair is like a friend forever. Arrange play dates with other hairs & brush your hair regularly to keep its self-esteem intact.
2.Dont take a lot of bath. Listen to Janis Joplin and Grateful Dead. Remember the Hippies ??
3.Hair title act, Clause 123.34
Hold meetings with your hair frequently. Have a sit down & make sure you know what they aren't happy with. Items on the agenda could include: Are the holes in your new hat up to Hair title act, Clause 123.34 standards & regulations? Have the new hairs in apartment 37 signed the tenant's agreement? Who is maintaining the vacant apartment's? Did your girlfriend intentionally give you crabs last week?
