Sorry, don’t like this story.
It treats women as objects. So what if she had no hair?
I love this as a great (hair) piece of irony. I don’t think it treats women or men as objects, but as the often ridiculous human beings we all are.

I think that this is very humorous. I have always admired your incredible wit and you have demonstrated it through this story.
Entertained me and made me think. Delightful little package!
