The Hairy Truth

Loose hair lying aroud in clumps makes people edgy (or grossed out). It's repugnant, especially when it clogs up the shower drain, fills up a hairbrush, covers a fluffy pillow, and lies still on the floor. When it creeps up on your food (egh), well, it's just nasty. Clearly, hair shouldn't cause fear. But, when you start rationalizing and realize that it's not yours and you don't live with anybody sporting that dye, it can be unsettling. The sight of long strands of pitch black hair should tell you that's there's something going on. When it starts coming out of the water faucet (or your mouth), leave the gagging (or dry heaving) for later and find the nearest priest. If there's one thing Asian Horror movies have taught us, it's that the thick mane is probably not yours.
