The Comb-Over....And the Comb-Forward

As we head out for a long-overdue family vacation from Kansas City, settling into our seats and finding a comfortable positions for our 3 hour and 37 minute flight, a site more horrifying than Godzilla rears up before us....

Long feared by both hairstylists and Amish folk the world over, the long-dreaded comb-over rears its ugly head on Frontier Airlines flight 1737 as we roar skyward.

Standing 5'4" tall, the flight attendant needs someone to tell him the ridiculous nature of his predicament; it's impossible to take seriously in-flight warnings of water landings, dropping oxygen masks, and dual-use seat cushions when the authority figure is actually using his hair as dual use....

The comb-forward is a little known variation of the venerable, and more traditional, comb-over. In this variation, the hair is combed forward from the rear of the hairline, barely covering the balding pate. Held in place with hair product delivering more hold than a Sumo wrestler, those few valiant strands of hair appear prepared to give up the struggle whenever their caretaker will send them to their final rest upon the barbershop floor.

"Back to your seat", he barks at an elderly gal who obviously needs the use of the in-flight facilities.

Those of us seated nearby chuckle...he looks about nervously, then with suspicion at our barely covered smirks.

Like most men,I realize society looks with careless disregard upon the thinning hair and receding hairlines of those of us blessed with testosterone....But for the love of Pete, somebody tell this guy to go slowly into that balding goodnight with class!

Just be who you are. Folks will appreciate your authenticity, your originality, and your character.
