the HQ (hair quotient)

I was talking to a dear friend today and was reminded gently that my readers were waiting(just a little flattery never hurt)! so..without much ado. first the apology. Sorry for not writing for so long!
next my pet peeve.
When I was a child, I used to visit an ophthalmologist for getting my new glasses. The doc was a good friend of my fathers. And as he was testing me for my eye sight, he would do the queer thing of putting the light into my eyes and make me look at something on the wall, while he looked closely at my retina. Sometimes he would deviate and say things like , "Keep looking at my ear". I would look and couldnt help but suppress giggles at the jut of hair popping out of his ears.
After all these years, the giggles have just turned into a little bit of disgust as I have known more and more men esp Indian men who have not been able to keep their hirsutedness under check.
These are young men between the ages of 20 and 40. I dont know if its some new gypsy thing that has caught on, or they are all trying to collectively defy metrosexuality or start some new age revolution! But whatever it is, its not working...
These men have forests of hair coming out of their noses/ears/that-one-hair-sticking-out-of-the-eyebrow. Guys, one piece of advice - unless you want to remind everyone of how evolution started..just do everyone a favor and groom yourself a wee-bit. You dont have to work towards being the next GQ man but next time before you step out of the bathroom just make sure that the HQ is taken care of!
