Male Pattern Baldness. It's a curse that has been in the Pighead family for at least 4 generations. Most probably longer. A curse that has affected the males of our noble family in cruel and horrible ways (Great Grandaddy's nickname at work was "The Bastard" which he didn't really mind as it sounded kind of menacing but once his hair fell out they started to call him "The Baldy Bastard" which he absolutely hated as it made him sound like he was hairless) The Pighead family has won numerous battles over the years but this is one enemy we have failed to overcome. And now it's Pighead's turn to face the unseen enemy.
The baldness is fast approaching. Like the 12 o clock train from Heuston Station to Limerick junction it hasn't left yet, and it most probably won't leave at 12 but eventually it shall leave the station and chug chug chug it's way to a town called sadsville. Papa Pighead's train pulled in many moons ago and he is as bald as the proverbial shaved fanny. Lucky for him he bagged himself a hot chick (AKA Mammy) before the curse struck.
As Pighead types this now he does so with a good head of hair and a lovely set of sideburns but the onset of baldness cannot be far away. The question is this. Should Pighead ask Miss Piggy to marry him now before the baldness sets in even though he has no desire to get wed or should he play the game of risk and hope she'll marry her baldie lover in five years time when he is ready? The problem with the second option is that there is a fair chance Miss Piggy will spurn her baldie lovers advances as last week when Pighead asked her who she fancied more between Brad Pitt and Phil Mitchell she immediately replied "Brad Pitt of course".
