On saying "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

On saying "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Oh God, no.

"What's that on your head?" asks my charming wife last Sunday morning.

"Hmm… I reply, looking in the big mirror in the hallway," looks like it's one of the dog's hairs."

I give it a tweak.

It is part of me.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

And, as my family gather round me to laugh:

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I am going grey.

I am – henceforth – a silver surfer, and it's downhill all the way.

Still, there's always the free bus pass and the Viagra to look forward to.
