#41: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Back in Post #15 I mentioned that Male Pattern Baldness is God's way of reducing inventory in light of Matthew 10:30:"He knows all the hairs on your head." Well, if you haven't noticed on your own, here are a few hairy facts I've observed over the course of the last few decades:
Women get in 'moods' and change their hair styles and/or colors. Generally, speaking, guys, ask if they like the 'new do' before you compliment them...assuming you even notice, you Barbarians! ("They have eyes and see not" is the appropriate verse for this phenomenon.)
When men get in a 'mood', they manipulate their facial hair, like the 40 year old guy who looked in the mirror on his birthday, said, "I don't need this pain", and decided he was growing a beard for the next six or so years.
Then there was the fifty-something with thinning hair who decided the Marine-look was a good one for the rest of his days.
Oh, let's not forget the Lord's crop rotation process that indicates part of His sense of humor: take it away from a guy's head and cause it to grow in his nose and ears! This is covered in the Book of Job 1:22: "The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away." By the way, vs. 21 says Job shaved his head...guess he was in a 'mood'?!!
My last shot is at the guys who grow 14" long hair above one ear and comb it over the huge bald spot it doesn't cover. Ich! Go for the Marine Look, guys!
Got clippers?
