Happy Be Bald and Be Free Day!

I was sent this fluff piece that really doesn’t dig into anything other than reminding me that today is “Be Bald and Be Free” day. The article from the Examiner is about professional golfers that are losing their hair, and the writer states:

Looking at mug shots in the PGA Tour media guide, I count 21 baldies – not including a surgically enhanced Woods – among 311 players listed in the publication.

That’s only 7 percent, compared to the 40-to-50 percent of the male population who are bald or balding. (Estimates vary, depending on age parameters, definition of baldness and what studies you believe. However, I did learn in my research that castration is the only cure for baldness and neither masturbation nor wearing hats causes hair loss.)

Tiger Woods had a hair transplant? He wears a hat so often, as many golfers do, that I never noticed.

But back to the Be Bald and Be Free day — Holiday Insights says, “Bald and Free Day honors those of us with a beautiful, shiny top. You don’t have to be bald to celebrate this day. But, it helps. People who are married to, or related to a bald headed person can celebrate with the honoree.”

I’m enjoying a big slice of Be Bald and Be Free Day cake and our Be Bald and Be Free flag is proudly presented in our office, in honor of those fallen follicles. Sorry, I got carried away.
