Ha ha TBF, 66 next month, i still have a head full of hair. In the 1970s I didn't cut my hair for 7 years and now I'm retired I would like to grow it long again because the dirty forkin hippies were right about a lot of things.

But a few things send me to the barber every 3 months. In the heat of Thailand on the farm, Long hair can get uncomfortable, sticking to your face, ears and neck. Secondly, upcountry Thais are conservative, long hair on a man means a crazy man, a tramp, one of those sad souls wandering the roads, bare footed, unwashed in filthy clothes, muttering to himself.

Thirdly, when you get wrinkles, long hair accentuates your age.

Gary Duncan was born on this day.

Freak out and exercise, aerobics 1969 style.
