    Our new PR guy is doing an awesome job

    "There's something really strong, powerful and confident about laying it all bare,"

    That's definitely Martyn's motto!

    Hey Martin,

    Have you told upper management about this story yet?

    The least you should do is tell them that you "appear taller" then other affiliate managers.....and be sure to bring up the study "in a coming issue of journal Social Psychological and Personality Science".

    Well then Gabriel,

    Get readyu to shave it.....LOL

    According to a New York image consultant, "the thinning or combed-over look as "kind of shlumpy."

    LOL

    Funny thing though, I have always heard that Martyn is still shlumpy......LOL, even if he looks tall. LOL

    I think you misheard cloth ears, what you heard was 'Funky' - 'Martyn is still funky.

    I like this part: A bare scalp "is nature's way of telling the rest of the world that you are a survivor," adds Michael Cunningham, a professor at the University of Louisville, who has studied social perceptions of baldness. He adds that the deliberate shaved-head look conveys aggressiveness, competitiveness and shows "willingness to stand against social norms."

    Sometimes Yahoo finds things to write about that I wonder why I just read it. This is one of those things.

    I think what they meant to say was, "A bare scalp is nature's way of telling you that you could have been burned by natural selection since your hair cuticles were not strong enough to survive, even in weather conditions that require much more hair than the rest of the world, but you're still here so you should embrace it by adding red bull cans wherever possible to distract from the shiny skin that is now where your luscious locks once were."
