+--- Thread: Phoenix is dangerous (/thread-12595.html)
- Kcwhippet - 06-25-2003
I was looking up something on the web and something popped up from Allstate Insurance. It listed the ten most dangerous intersections in the U.S. Two of them are in Phoenix - the weener's hometown. They're 7th and Bell, and 19th and Northern. Must be all the blue hairs jockeying around each other.

Au Cotrair there KC ole' bear. The 19th and Northern is about 1 mile from my house and the 7th and Bell is around 6. Both are 6 lanes wide both ways and seems like every-one likes using the yellow as a "GO" signal. Most of the blue hairs are in the East valley in Mesa. Have petitioned the city council to install delayed left turn signals which helps remedy the problem. Instead in their infinate wisdom the've installed photo-traffic controls. We'll see.

Amazingly, the hair is the only thing that hasn't deteriorated badly. A smattering of greay but still basic Indian brown aand it's all still there. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]WW

The last time i applied for a photo id I marked Brown in the box that asked for hair color. When I got to the policeman who was processing the id (to sell wine at wholesale one must be fingerprinted and have a photo id) anyway, the cop looks at my picture, looks at me and then says, "sorry to tell you but your hair is now gray."

Having spent two years staring at the heaving breasts of young fillies hot to trot for the drummer in my old band who was built like Conan the Barbarian but had a full head of silver hair at 23, I have relished the slow descent into Silverback Alpha Male Gorilla status. I now have gone from salt and pepper to salt and plaster of Paris....

... and then male pattern baldness rears its ugly head (for some of us, anyway).
- Georgie - 06-28-2003
Yes, but don't forget that on you guys gray hair or baldness can still be very attractive. Sean Connery, for example...mmm-mmm-mmm
- dananne - 06-28-2003
Well, if baldness is attractive, I must be a real looker. What God didn't take care of, I've just shaved off [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
I save a great deal of money on shampoo and hair products, giving me more to spend on wine. But, on the downside, I get stopped at airports for looking like a domestic terrorist [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/eek.gif[/img]

It seems every man in NY shaves his head these days--except one. Even though what I have left resides on the sides and at the back of my head, I simply cannot bring myself to do away with the curly locks that remind me of--let's just say, the old days.
I feel this way even though my wife bugs me to shave the rest of it.
One day I shaved my beard, which I have been sporting since 1976. Hated what I saw underneath there and let it come back right away, which for this fellow is only a matter of hours...

right on, Georgie!! Sean is a hottie!!!
