Larry Hnetka Goes HMmmm

The Presurfer knew just where to hit me where I laugh: my hair (or lack thereof).

What did I find so funny in the Presurfer? It was this article: 52 ways to have more fun with your hair - every week for a year!

Not having much hair for some 30 years, Week #18 tip really had me rolling on the floor.

Tip for week #18. Change your part. If you wear a center part, move it to the side; if you wear a side part, move it to the center or the opposite side. For extra fun, create a zigzag part.

Cross my heart, I never succumbed to the dreaded man’s COMB-OVER, ever, ever ever in my entire life. I had the same friend hairstylist all those years. As my hair grew less and less abundant, Dale kept cutting it shorter and shorter and finally came the ultimate cut: the razor.

This was never me!

I did discover this article through my snorting laughter to make guys pause and reflect on whether to comb-over or not, Divine secrets of the comb-over brotherhood.

If that isn’t scary enough, you must watch Combover: the movie. It’ll scare the comb right from your hand if you think you’re fooling anybody with the comb-over look.
