From the Author
It struck me one day that I didn't choose to be bald, but that I could choose how I thought about it and how I responded to it. After grieving for a while over my loss, I gradually came to this conclusion: This is the head I've been given, so I am going to make the most of it.Rather than choosing to get a toupee, use a medication like Rogaine on the crown of my head for the rest of my life, or go through hair replacement surgery, I chose the least expensive, least painful, and least worrisome option of all. I decided to accept what I've been dealt and to take advantage of the opportunities for fun and pleasure afforded me by my bald pate.
I began to have fun with my head around friends, children, strangers, and work associates and realized that I could actually flaunt what I didn't have and elicit smiles and laughter wherever I went. I began asking for estimates at barber shops, having children make wishes over my head, and letting kids use my head as a superhighway for their toy cars. When standing at a checkout counter I would say, "Whew, I'm having a bad hair day!" and would explain to people how they only put marble on top of the finest furniture.
Over the last 25 years I was inspired by hundreds of happily hairless men I met who were bringing comic relief to thousands of people by faithfully repeating the traditional bald favorites that had been handed down to them for generations. "There's only one sure way to save your hair: in a cigar box" and "God created a few perfect heads and the rest he covered with hair," were part of a handful of expressions they parroted from the bald oral tradition.
Uplifted by these lustrous wonders, I wanted to add to this limited repertoire of positive bald humor. I wrote down all that came to me about the bald head over a 25 year period which issued forth into "Bald Men Always Come Out on Top—101 Ways to Use Your Head and Win with Skin." If you have a sky-clad dome, use whatever works for you in this book. And if you know or love a baldheaded man, you now have a wonderful gift specifically for him that says, "You're the greatest."
