Shaved Head
by Robert Lewis
My father had a funny story I always liked from his Navy service during the Korean War:
One ship in the squadron had a captain whose officers idolized him, and tried to emulate his every action. When he bought a particular brand of cologne, all the other officers began wearing the same cologne. When he started smoking a pipe, so did the officers.
One day, the captain returned from shore with his head shaved! Sure enough, that evening, all the officers in his crew crowded into the base barber shop to have their head shaved, too.
The next morning, the captain appeared on the bridge, looked around at all the bald pates, and without a word, reached up and pulled off his skin-head wig.
