At least you don't have humiliation to add to your crutches. There was a
time many moons ago when I was taking karate classes. I had a few beer and
decide to practice in front of a mirror. Bad idea. Fifteen minutes later I
broken mirror and was on the way to the bones to get several stitches in my
foot. I had a job that required driving, which I couldn't do as I was on
crutches and could barely walk, and almost lost my job (the boss didn't buy
the excuse that I got jumped outside the dojo and I was defending myself).

I got rid of bad hair days by shaving it off. I recommend it. For what it's
worth, bald women are hot.
