It's true! Now you know what to do when your pet yak starts shedding -- call Hair Club for Men!

Former U.S. Rep. James Traficant, D-Ohio, and sportscaster Marv Albert will go down in history for their astonishingly lifelike toupees. Lifelike - not as in "natural-looking," but as in "small forest-dwelling rodent." Showing no mercy for her famously toupeed colleague, Sam Donaldson, Barbara Walters blithely remarked at her roast last month, "I can't decide if he reminds me of ABC News or ABC Carpet."

:rofl:

Done right, a "unit" is designed to match the color, texture and curl of natural hair. Skilled technicians, mostly based in China, crochet each strand, be it yak, human or synthetic, into a base of nylon or silk. That base, properly cut and attached to a shaved surface with high-tech adhesives, becomes nearly invisible. Washed and styled well, the hair blends and no one notices....

Gayer reports that men with toupees are prisoners of habit. They’re used to seeing themselves with thick hair styled a certain way and don't want to change. (That’s how he explains Sam Donaldson’s 'do.)


How do you spot a guy with a yak-hair rug? Wait for him to bend over and start chowing down on grass?!
