I had an opportunity to watch a local church pastor on the evening news. He was speaking about a tragic death. He even wiped away a crocodile tear for effect.
Unfortunately, the story took a backseat to his vanity and foolish pride. He was one of those men who thinks he can fool everyone with his cheap and really obvious hairpiece.
Now this may be shallow of me, but men with enough vanity to seek out and actually wear a rug that obvious shouldn't be allowed to preach. However, that would probably exclude the vast majority of men from the ministry, since it seems that only the bald ones attempting a scalp fake-out also manage to gain the pulpit.
Why is it that men fall for such a load of car salesman bull when their vanity is involved? I read a story the other day that said 98% of all women surveyed found hair pieces on men unattractive, while 40% of the men surveyed said they would get one if bald. The numbers don't add up.
When I see a hair piece, I automatically suspect its wearer of dishonesty. Why? because if he's trying to lie about the state of something as inconsequential as his lack of hair, then what whoppers are in store when the stakes are higher?
