Mystery #170 - The Hair Club for Men


Joey Presents: Great Mysteries of the Universe
Mystery #170 - The Hair Club for Men

Call me old fashioned, but when I start a club I like to call it something that really explains its purpose. Say, for instance, the Armadillo Club. I would name a club the Armadillo Club if it were a club for armadillos, people from Armadillo, or maybe even people who really enjoy/admire the armadillo. The Hair Club for Men, however, fails to fit into this logic. Here they've started a club named after something that all of it's members do not have. That's like the KKK starting a chapter of the ebony club.

For all you out there who aren't dedicated infomercial fans, the Hair Club for Men is a treatment program for balding guys, where by some secret mixture of voodoo, spray paint, paste, and hair clippings, they manage to repopulate your barren horizon. They're the ones with the stupid commercials late at night with set after set of before-and-after shots.

I mean, for all intensive purposes, the only time you would HAVE hair is after you are no longer a member of the "club", which makes absolutely no sense to me. At the very least, if they're going to call themselves a club they need to hold some more club-like activities. Maybe a bake sale or a car wash every now and then. I'm not asking much here, people.
