threemonkeysI don't believe it. I went to the mall this morning and noticed a chap with a comb over. Not quite the full Bobby Charlton, but close. I was certainly surprised because I really thought that this abomination was dead. My surprise turned to full astonishment when within minutes I spotted another one.
Despite now being on the alert, I didn't spot any more. Good thing too. Two in one morning is more than enough.
I would also draw your attention to the following note from the Wikipedia entry on the comb over. A variation of the combover (whereby baldness is concealed by long hair combed in three separate directions) has a U.S. Patent 4,022,227 by Donald J. Smith and his father, Frank J. Smith, of Orlando, Florida, who were awarded an Ig Nobel Prize in Engineering for their effort.
Please don't tell me that it is coming back into fashion.
