my god, i can't believe how it works every time!

1. Let hair grow until it seems ridiculously slovenly and unkempt.

2. Get haircut.

3. Then:
"Did you get a haircut?"
(amiable but slightly puzzled look) "No, why?"

4. If necessary:
"Yes, you did!"
(confused but well-meaning look) "No. I mean, maybe three weeks ago..."

5. Revel in the cognitive disarray.

You know, I had my hair cut back in early February. Just a week ago, a work colleague asked if I had gotten a haircut. I will try your approach next time.... (I had answered, "yes" in the interests of diplomacy).

Although I would never suggest you as a candidate for Extreme Makeover I do think you look very nice with shorter hair and that you should make trimming your hair regularly a priority.

hair should never be a priority. it should be cut when and only when it impedes other priorities. at all other times, it should be washed regularly, and promptly forgotten.

Real funny, Garfinkel.

I'm wondering if I'll get any aesthetic comments on my course evaluations. I think I should start keeping my hair short more as well.

Dammit, Jeremy, if you'd only posted this last week, I would've gladly commented on how funny looking you are on your course evaluation!

Yes, this blog has made clear that high latent demand that exists for people to provide "constructive feedback" about my appearance.

I think Prof. Freese is bit of a hottie. In that I'm too smart to waste a lot of time on my appearance kind of way. But I would never right that on your course evaluation.

Thanks, Mom. I didn't realize that you read my blog.
