Showing posts with the label bald joke

To the "friends" who make bald "jokes."

I understand that I'm bald. It actually doesn't bother me. However, I believe that friends should not attack their friends over things like this. Oh I understand that our fickle ass country thinks it's okay to make fun of short people and bald people but boy don't you say anything about someone's sexual orientation or if they're fat! So I'm fine with being bald. In fact, if you haven't noticed I shave my head all the time. I think I look pretty good.

I will think you are an idiot with no manners. So be my guest and take your best shot; just don't act surprised if I don't seem like I enjoy it. And finally, "Hey baldy," is not an appropriate way of greeting someone. Try, "hel...
