What causes “male pattern baldness”? Are you working on a cure?
———- from Phil Fjeldberg of Lake Crystal MN
I’ve already come up with a cure, but no one seems interested in walking through the small amount of discomfort necessary to utilize it. When my hairline began to recede during an especially intense work period that lasted most of the summer of ’67, I quickly formulated a synthetic hair that never needs to be washed or combed, and will long outlast any other part of me. DuPont, I believe, bought the patent and now manufactures it as a fiber for indoor/outdoor carpeting. I called it “Dynel” after my first wife, Dinah. Sure, implantation is painful and messy, but what isn’t these days?
