Bald as a Something
Today is the 40th anniversary of the editor here shaving his head, in reaction to being forced by fascist parental units to get a hair cut (things were different 40 yrs. ago). The next day, many of the drooling idiots where we attended school thought we had done it as some sort of reaction to Martin Luther King, Jr. having been assassinated. No connection.
And no further threats of haircut imposition when we were still under the alleged control of the parents after that. (Got rid of dandruff too.)
In today's modern world, of course, every gangster, police officer & member of the military sports the "displaced person who was just dusted for lice & had all his body hair shaved" look, again confirming the age-old "the more things change, etc." axiom. So our mane remains.

It's about 30 years since I shaved mine, Caro Buffone.Long before Signorina Sinead, and probably after a long night with the dancing and vino. Now I have dimenticato why, it is so long ago.
"A promise to the Virgin? To some other Saint?" asked old Spanish ladies. Hopefully.
I did not understand. Mother was Catholic but not completely nuts.
It seems you ask your favourite Virgin or Santo to do something nice for you and if they agree you shave off your hair.
I do not know why the Pope permits such things.
Now the Spanish footballers are all bald because they ask to win the match.
Porca Miseria, are we the only sane people left?

From The Editor:
Speak for yourself, cara Sophia. The Editor's certainly not sane, & has doctors who will testify to it. (Not a raging delusional loon yet, but not normal or average above the neck.)
Perhaps you shaved your testa in a fit of punk, if it was 30ish yrs. ago.
And, we understand Pope Ratzi I is going back to higher miters as a gesture of rejection of Vatican II, since you mentioned the old bastard.
