After his first trip to the hairdresser in four months, Stan Bridgewater was cruelly reminded of the fact that he is going bald.
The formerly hirsute office junior, 47, brushed his hair once, and left it at that, knowing that it would continue to sprout in the same way as it does for fictional mad scientists or real-life American presidents.
'It has been great, for the past few months, just to be able to forget about the whole balding issue,' said Stan, 'but since my visit to Gerald's on the corner, I have been reminded of my declining attractiveness to the ladies, and the fact that I will always be looked over in my career.'
It is, as it always has been, though, Stan.
